Top 16 Ecommerce Food & Beverage Brands Delivering Freshness Online

Food and beverage ecommerce revenue is projected to exceed $16.5 billion this year on its way to nearly $26 billion by 2022.

Although the food and beverage sector is the largest retail category in the U.S. by a large margin, the industry has not yet widely adopted ecommerce when compared to sectors such as consumer electronics and household products.

This is due to the perishable nature of food and beverage products, which typically have unique storage and logistic requirements.

Quick processing and delivery are critical and have traditionally been a challenge for retailers trying to take advantage of the immense ecommerce opportunity.

But recent trends, technology advances, and shopper sentiment indicate that the food and beverage ecommerce category is poised for rapid growth.

A recent Nielsen study found that about one-quarter of shoppers order groceries online and 55% are willing to do so in the future.

With the right ecommerce strategy, technology, and logistics solutions in place, food and beverage retailers of all types and sizes can gain market share and even dominate this sector.
