According to data released by iFood, Brazilians ordered approximately 250 million burgers on the platform in 2024, a 207% increase from 2023, equivalent to 475 burgers delivered per minute. So far this year, burger sales on the platform have maintained strong growth, with 72 million burgers ordered in the first four months, representing a 12% year-on-year increase.

Data shows that from January to April, restaurant burger delivery orders increased by 8 million compared to the same period last year.

Pentagna also noted that by April this year, 2,630 new burger establishments had joined iFood, with 99% being small and medium-sized enterprises, further proving the burger industry's important role in driving entrepreneurship and regional economic development.
