Platform’s inaugural Kiasu Pasar Report also reveals shift towards smarter, healthier and more intentional quick-commerce habits
SINGAPORE - Media OutReach Newswire - 21 January 2026 - foodpanda, the nation's leading food and grocery delivery platform, has launched two new upsized pandamarts (known as pandamart XLs) in Kallang and Yio Chu Kang, to support growing preference for convenient grocery runs with wider assortment choices and reliable availability of everyday essentials.

Since 2023, foodpanda has seen a 7% increase in monthly grocery order frequency, and an 8% jump in the average number of items per order between 2024 and 2025, as shoppers shift from last-minute convenience to full pantry restocks.
"Across Singapore, we're seeing our customers shop more intentionally. They're planning better, spending smarter and stocking up in a single go. pandamart XLs are precisely built for this reason - to offer our customers more products, better value for their money, and with the same convenience they love," said Bhavani Mishra, Managing Director of foodpanda Singapore.
pandamart XLs built for bigger baskets
Each pandamart XL carries an upsized inventory of everyday staples, snacks, ready-to-eat meals, household items and more, featuring 30% more products than a regular pandamart. The larger assortment also includes imported specialty and locally in-demand products, allowing shoppers to stock up more in a single order and receive their groceries in an hour.
The launch of these two new outlets follows the success of a pilot trial in Redhill launched in 2025, with three pandamart XL stores now in operation, each positioned to support wider delivery areas across Singapore. Across all pandamart stores, including XL locations, foodpanda uses hyperlocal demand trends to guide assortment and stock planning, tailoring each store to the neighbourhoods it serves.
Kiasu Pasar Report: Singaporeans are rethinking grocery shopping
Quick-commerce - a fast, on-demand delivery model - is catching on with Singaporean shoppers seeking value and convenience. The shift, highlighted in foodpanda's first Kiasu Pasar Report1 launched today, reflects growing price-consciousness and smarter spending habits.
Key insights include:
- Singaporeans are using quick-commerce to plan, not panic: Rather than a last-minute fix, orders are increasingly embedded in daily routines and used for a wider range of occasions, from full pantry restocks and daily cooking to essential planning.
- Value matters more than ever: One in two grocery orders includes housebrand items, and pandapro subscribers now account for 18% more quick-commerce orders, and enjoy 30% more in average savings.
- Healthier baskets, smarter choices: Fresh produce appears in 7 in 10 orders, alongside growing demand for lean meats, organic and protein-rich products.
- Convenience is shaping kitchens – and shopping habits: As consumers opt for simpler, time-saving cooking options, purchases of frozen meals and cooking condiments have climbed 20%.
- Cultural discovery is rising: Japanese and Korean products available on foodpanda are up 20%, reflecting a growing appetite for global flavours.
"Quick-commerce has evolved beyond convenience; it's now part of Singapore's daily shopping rhythm," said Axelle Guibert, Director of Quick-Commerce, foodpanda Singapore. "With our new pandamart XLs, we're delivering both speed and scale — giving shoppers more choice and better value, all closer to home."
