2025年初春，京东以雷霆之势杀入外卖市场，发展速度之快令整个行业为之震动。 之前抖音外卖花了五个月仅做到日单10万，而京东外卖仅仅2个多月就做到了单日超500万单，又过去一周后，京东外卖的日订单量已突破1000万单。 而随着刘强东亲自下场送外卖、与外卖骑手吃火锅、喝酒、吹牛，瞬间引爆网络，京东外卖的日单量想必还在飞速增长。 按此推算，京东外卖的日订单量突破2000万指日可待，甚至未来几个月突破3000万单也并非遥不可及。 从美团最初反击情况来看，显然是低估了京东的威胁，或许美团认为京东外卖又会是下一个抖音外卖，激不起多少风浪。 此前美团方面曾回应："京东不是第一家想做外卖的公司，也可能不是最后一家"。 但等美团近期加大力度回击时，京东外卖却已成气候，确实是低估了。 特别是刘强东亲自送外卖造势的行为，更为京东外卖带来了不可忽视的单量，此后一段时间仍会受益。 京东打美团正激烈，美团自然很受伤，毕竟外卖本身就是个存量市场，新玩家进场自然会瓜分原本的市场格局，美团的日单量必将下滑。 但京东打美团最受伤的其实并非美团，而是饿了么。 因为作为行业老二的饿了么在经营十多年后，当前日单量仅维持在2000万左右，而京东在短短 ...

Core Viewpoint - The ongoing subsidy war between JD.com and Meituan in the food delivery market may leave Ele.me as a potential loser, as it appears to be less active in this competitive landscape [1][11]. Group 1: Consumer Insights - Consumers have noted that Ele.me has lost its price advantage compared to JD.com and Meituan, leading to decreased usage of the platform [2][5]. - A consumer highlighted that while Ele.me was previously chosen for its lower prices, recent membership reforms by Meituan have diminished Ele.me's competitive edge [4][5]. - The perception among consumers is that Ele.me's lack of aggressive promotional activities has resulted in a decline in its attractiveness [5][10]. Group 2: Rider Perspectives - Riders have expressed dissatisfaction with Ele.me's compensation structure, stating that the pay per delivery is lower than that of competitors like Meituan [6][7]. - Some riders have switched to JD.com due to better pay and more favorable working conditions, indicating a potential talent drain from Ele.me [6][8]. - Despite the competitive pressure, some riders reported that Ele.me's order volume has remained stable, although they suspect that the number of riders leaving the platform may exceed the decline in order volume [8]. Group 3: Merchant Feedback - Merchants have reported a decline in order volume on Ele.me, attributing it to both historical issues and the recent competitive actions of JD.com and Meituan [10][11]. - A merchant with lower sales on Ele.me noted that the platform's order volume has not significantly increased even before the competition intensified, indicating ongoing challenges [10]. - Merchants have suggested that Ele.me's lack of promotional activities has contributed to its declining order volume, especially in the face of aggressive discounts from competitors [10][11]. Group 4: Strategic Responses - In response to the competitive landscape, Ele.me has initiated measures such as optimizing its subsidy policies for riders and offering free red envelopes to consumers [11][13]. - The company appears to be adopting a wait-and-see approach, potentially waiting for the subsidy war between JD.com and Meituan to subside before making more aggressive moves [13][14]. - Despite current challenges, Ele.me still maintains a significant daily order volume, suggesting that it is not yet in a critical position [14].

紧急声明。 4月27日早间，美团官方微信公众号"小团有话说"发布《"双开App被封号""外卖柜排他""买到缩水餐"？关于三类网络不 实信息的声明》（简称"声明"）。 声明称，在澄清"去其他平台跑单会被美团永久封号"的谣言后，社交平台上依旧出现了骑手App显示"永久停止接单原因 为：存在使用双开或京东软件的行为"的谣言图片。经核实，该图片源自平台封禁违规抢单外挂的正常提示页，但IP地址 在广东的个别网民，对图片进行恶意P图后，极少数网民在微信群内进行传播。目前公司已针对谣言传播情况进行证据 固定，将通过法律手段维护自身权益。对于恶意发布上述不实图片，持续散播谣言的虚假摆拍账号、幕后推手，公司也 会加大固证和打击力度。 声明还指出，社交平台上，出现水军账号发帖称，"有骑手指出，若扫码放入外卖柜内，平台会获取跑单骑手的账号信 息，对多平台跑单骑手的账号进行封禁"等不实信息。美团第一时间联系相关部门同事，对发生此类现象的区域进行线 下核实发现，美团外卖柜设施的使用情况一切正常，产品端的存和取，均有"非美团骑手/订单"的设置，线下还设有"所 有平台均可微信扫码正常使用，为避免丢失，请存放入柜"的提示牌。现场看到有8—9 ...

过去一个月，美团和京东股价表现弱于基准指数，主要原因是投资者担忧京东激进进入中国外卖市场，以及美团可能采取的应 对措施。 摩根大通认为，京东的入局不会显著改变当前市场结构(美团 / 饿了么分别占据 75%/25% 的市场份额)。预计京东在 2025/26 年 将获得约 5% 的市场份额，2025 年底订单量 / 市场份额将提升至 10%，2026 年订单量 / 市场份额将回落。 摩根大通指出，尽管京东的入局对两家公司的短期盈利前景都带来潜在下行风险，但美团的短期盈利可能比京东更具韧性，因 为美团并未采取价格补贴策略。估值方面，美团的相对上行空间更大，其可持续的两位数盈利前景使其成为中国互联网一线标 的，通常交易估值为 15-20 倍远期市盈率。维持对两家公司的 "增持" 评级，但短期更看好美团。 报告主要内容如下： 一、市场结构观点 尽管京东在两个月内迅速抢占了中国外卖市场 5% 的份额，但我们认为其深度补贴的增长策略不可持续，原因如下： 外卖业务的较大亏损对京东集团利润造成压力; 难以通过交叉销售活动完全抵消外卖业务的亏损。 我们认为，新进入者通过深度补贴策略在中国移动（600941）互联网外卖市场获取显著 ...

自从京东高调进军外卖行业，市场上对这个行业的焦点几乎都集中在了这场外卖大战上面。然而很多人 似乎忽略了，目前美团在其他市场也在打"外卖战争"。Keeta在成功打下中国香港之后，已经将刀锋指 向了中东市场 看过我前面两期文章的朋友，对于这个现象可能会产生疑惑。因为外卖是一个典型的3边交易市场，由1 个需求端（用户）以及2个供给端（骑手、商家）组成。当交易平台拥有足够规模的时候，应该带有坚 实的壁垒。 身为内地外卖霸主的美团不可能不知道这一点。那既然如此，为何美团还要选择到其他市场发动外卖大 战，甚至在中国香港还以这么快的速度把其中一家对手赶出了市场呢？而美团的这一系列成功的战术， 是否能被京东复制呢？ 一、中国香港外卖市场概况 我们先来简单了解一下在Keeta进入之前中国香港外卖市场的情况。中国香港人口750万人，外卖日单量 规模大约60万单，单均餐价150元+，单均配送费在25~50元左右。从这些数据看得出来，中国香港昂贵 的人工成本造成了配送费高企。而为了使配送费占订单总金额比例到达合理区间，平台都设置了最低的 配送门槛（Foodpanda最低的配送门槛120元），往往需要几个人一起先拼单，才能满足配送条件 ...

文｜数读社 去年9月18日，王兴罕见地发了一封内部信。信中，王兴特别提到美团在社会责任领域的努力。 "过去3年每年招聘超过5000名应届毕业生，2023年，美团平台获得收入的骑手约745万，获报酬超过800亿元。" 与高调的刘强东不同，理工男王兴很少公开露面，多数时间都在自己创办的饭否上发言。这一次以内部信的形式发声，可以见得美团对社会责任的重视。 可美团的动作，还是没能像他们对骑手的要求那般迅速。 进入2025年，京东进场，直接打到了美团的七寸上。 文科生刘强东的阳谋 2014年，刘强东骑上了电动三轮，从京东大屯配送站出发，体验了快递小哥的生活。 京东的公开喊话言辞激烈，甚至用了"好自为之""回头是岸"这样的词。 11年后，北京的街头再一次出现了刘强东的身影，这一次三轮变两轮，快递变外卖。 骑上三轮的刘强东，把京东物流做成了年营收1828亿的头部物流公司。当再次看到他骑上电瓶车，大众难免会产生与之对应的联想。 千亿身价老总亲自送快递外卖的故事充满着吸引力，特别当刘强东微醺之际，自曝喝酒断片的糗事，更是把好感度拉满。刘强东亲自下场可以视为京东进攻 美团大本营的高潮部分。 战役从2月就已经开始，京东的突破口是骑 ...

经济观察报 记者 陈月芹 4月21日，京东发布《致全体外卖骑手兄弟们的公开信》，主要提出3点举措：一是扩招骑手，未来三个 月内招募骑手规模从原定的5万名增加至10万名；二是所有因"二选一"被其他平台封杀的骑手，京东将 给予足够单量，确保收入不降；三是优先为骑手对象安排工作，比如全职快递员、全职保洁。此前，京 东已祭出"五险一金全覆盖+单均配送费高出美团30%"的福利组合拳吸引骑手迁移。 一名京东骑手解释，京东要求全职骑手需统一着装并配备标准化装备，众包骑手则没有装备要求，但如 果想加入骑士小队，也得买到服装，"短袖和头盔很紧缺，买不到，也借不到，有装备的都自己跑"。 按照10万名新增骑手计算，仅头盔、工服两项便需至少20万套基础装备，叠加现有骑手换装需求，短期 装备需求量暴增。 京东官方数据显示，自3月1日京东外卖正式上线以来，不到2个月，京东外卖日单量突破1000万单，覆 盖166个城市。 （京东秒送app上的骑手装备购买页面） App客服解释："由于当前装备销售火爆，小达正在积极补充上架，麻烦您耐心等待。" "闲鱼"App上出现了溢价销售京东骑手装备的商家，原价21.5元的短袖Polo衫在闲鱼上的售价在3 ...
