Overview
- Uber Eats has resumed operations in Argentina in January 2026 after exiting in 2020 during a global strategic refocus.
- PedidosYa and Rappi now control most of the sector, a landscape reinforced by Delivery Hero’s 2019 acquisition of Glovo.
- Delivery has shifted from an occasional service to a routine channel for restaurants and retailers, with growth expanding into supermarkets and pharmacies.
- In its first run, the service launched in Mendoza in 2018 and later expanded to Córdoba, Greater Buenos Aires and Buenos Aires city but never matched the leaders’ scale.
- The relaunch coincides with government efforts to update labor rules for platform work, while reports estimate more than 160,000 workers and about $1.86 billion in annual app revenues.
