Why is this important
The rise in delivery prices directly affects households’ daily expenses, especially in cities where food delivery has become part of regular consumption. The increase in the cost of such services reflects the overall price trends in the catering and service economy segment. In addition, the dynamics of delivery costs can be an indicator of the growth of business costs, including logistics and labor costs.
