How rich is Uber Eats?

Recently, the valuation of Uber Eats reached $20 billion, while its parent company, Uber Technologies Inc., was valued at $120 billion. In 2022, Uber Eats was the second most downloaded food app globally, with nearly 47 million downloads.



As of early 2026, Uber Eats is a multi-billion dollar powerhouse within Uber Technologies. In the final quarter of 2025, Uber's delivery segment—which includes Uber Eats as its primary driver—reported a 30% revenue surge, reaching $4.9 billion for that quarter alone. This explosive growth indicates that the delivery business is now one of the most profitable and fastest-growing arms of the company, often outpacing the growth of the core ride-hailing (mobility) segment. Globally, Uber Eats has expanded beyond restaurant meals into grocery, alcohol, and retail delivery, positioning itself as a leader in the "last-mile" logistics sector. With gross bookings reaching record highs, the "wealth" of Uber Eats lies not just in its cash flow but in its massive global scale and the data it leverages to dominate the delivery market across the Europe, Middle East, and Africa regions.
