Uber to launch food delivery in 7 new European markets in 2026
Uber will expand its food-delivery operations into seven new European markets in 2026, a company spokesperson confirmed. The expansion targets the Czech Republic, Greece, Romania, Austria, Denmark, Finland, and Norway. The company projects this move will generate an additional US$1 billion in gross bookings over the subsequent three years. This strategy is driven by observed market conditions. Susan Anderson, Uber’s global delivery head, stated, “We’re seeing strong demand from merchants and consumers for Uber’s platform — and we think it’s time to raise the bar, shake things up and deliver better value across the category.”
This European expansion follows a separate strategic acquisition earlier in the same week. Uber agreed to purchase the delivery arm of Turkish company Getir. The seller is Emirati controlling shareholder Mubadala. This transaction is designed to strengthen Uber’s operational footprint within Turkey. The initial revelation of these expansion plans was made by the Financial Times. The company is proceeding with these developments to increase its market presence.
