DoorDash claims No. 1 in U.S. grocery and retail order volume

DoorDash explained that its growth in grocery and retail is part of a broader strategy to bolster everyday commerce.

SAN FRANCISCO — DoorDash announced it became the leading third-party marketplace in U.S. grocery and retail order volume in 2025, highlighting the company’s growing efforts beyond restaurants and deeper into everyday shopping.

Citing third-party data from YipitData, DoorDash said it now leads in order count share across grocery, convenience, alcohol, and retail among third-party delivery providers. The milestone reflects expanded partnerships, broader category offerings, and growing consumer adoption of online shopping for routine purchases.

Merchant Growth and Expanded Partnerships

DoorDash added 33 new U.S. grocery partners in 2025 and early 2026, including regional and specialty operators such as Citarella, Mollie Stone’s Markets, Schnucks, and Northeast Grocery.

The company also expanded its relationship with Kroger in 2025, increasing the number of the 10 largest food retailers on Progressive Grocer’s Top 100 list that partner with DoorDash to six.

On the retail side, new Marketplace additions included DSW, Family Dollar, Old Navy and PacSun, expanding assortment across footwear, apparel and value-focused essentials.

DoorDash expanded SNAP and EBT payment options for on-demand delivery, including retailers like Wegmans Food Markets and Weis Markets. The company stated that over 50,000 stores now accept SNAP or EBT payments through its platform for on-demand delivery.

Seasonal Demand and Incremental Sales

Seasonal events continue to generate substantial order volume. DoorDash stated that over one-third of online flower delivery orders during Valentine’s Day weekend were made through its platform. On both Valentine’s Day and Mother’s Day in 2025, consumers placed over one million grocery, convenience, retail, and alcohol orders on DoorDash across the United States.

The company stated that such spikes demonstrate its ability to assist merchants in capturing high-intent, seasonal demand at scale.

New Use Cases and AI Integration

DoorDash has expanded into new categories such as apparel, toys and games, books, and sexual wellness. More than 30% of its U.S. monthly active users now shop across grocery and retail categories, according to internal data.

The company also announced that grocery ordering is now accessible through ChatGPT, enabling consumers to go from recipe ideas to a full shopping cart and receive delivery from participating grocers within minutes. DoorDash stated that the integration aims to connect merchants with shoppers earlier in their decision-making process.

DoorDash described its growth in grocery and retail as part of a wider strategy to support everyday commerce, providing local, regional, and national merchants with increased access to online demand while expanding consumer choice across communities.
