Food and Drink Sector Affiliates
The pandemic has meant a big growth for many online food and drink merchants, both in groceries and in home delivery foods. A recent Statista report projects the online food delivery segment to reach nearly $32Bn in 2021 - with revenue growth of 12.2% in 2022!
In 2018 a Forbes article was suggesting that online food deliveries would reach $200Bn. Covid has changed all that and growth has been huge globally over the last two years. The Statista report has China on it's own projected to generate $189Bn for 2021.
The retail drinks sector overall was hit hard with closure of restaurants and bars on an almost global scale. Online drink merchants have benefited from people being quarantined at home with a bit uptick in home deliveries. This all makes for strong promotional prospects for affiliates and online content providers.
Foodie Bloggers & Influencers
As the numbers above suggest, food and drink is a very active sector for affiliates. The pandemic effect though it's also partly driven by steadily increasing TV content and interest in cooking generally.
For bloggers there are plenty of guides to find the best programs, so if you're a food advertiser, make sure your brand shows up in lists like that on Nichepursuits. It's worth also making sure you find them as well; the Publisher Discovery Chrome extension is an ideal tool for showing up which of the sites in google search are using affiliate links to short-cut the searching process.
