Delivering Economic Value – DoorDash 2021 US Economic Impact Report
Economic Consulting Team
Oxford Economics
A US study demonstrating how DoorDash empowers local economies by creating and supporting impact across the three sides of their marketplace–Dashers, merchants and consumers.
This report details the value DoorDash catalyzes in the US through a combination of economic impact models and independent surveys of four main groups: the restaurants, convenience and grocery stores, and other retailers (collectively called “merchants”) that gain new customers and increased sales from the platform; the Dashers who make deliveries and earn through the platform; the consumers who enjoy the convenience and other benefits of on-demand food and product delivery; and the company that makes this all possible.
Headline impact findings showcase:
- $68.9 billion in contribution to US GDP
- 6.8 million Dashers and other workers supported
- $13.6 billion in federal, state and local taxes supported
