DoorDash to exit Singapore and three other markets as Deliveroo winds down
Parent company DoorDash has announced the closure of its Deliveroo and Wolt operations in Singapore, Japan, Qatar, and Uzbekistan. The strategic withdrawal follows a multi-month review of the firm’s international portfolio, with service in Singapore scheduled to conclude on 4 March 2026.
- Deliveroo will officially cease its food delivery operations in Singapore on 4 March 2026.
- Parent company DoorDash is simultaneously exiting the Japanese, Qatari, and Uzbekistani markets.
- The decision follows a strategic review aimed at prioritising regions with clear paths to long-term leadership.
Technology firm DoorDash has announced its decision to exit the Singapore market, initiating an orderly wind-down of its Deliveroo brand. The platform is scheduled to remain operational until 4 March 2026, after which all services in the city-state will conclude.
According to a press statement released on 25 February 2026, the exit is part of a broader international restructuring. Alongside Singapore, DoorDash will also withdraw its Deliveroo and Wolt brands from Qatar, Japan, and Uzbekistan.
Management described the move as a difficult but necessary step following a multi-month review of country-specific conditions. The firm intends to focus future investments on geographies where it perceives the clearest path to sustainable scale and long-term leadership.
Miki Kuusi, Head of DoorDash International and Chief Executive Officer of Deliveroo, noted that the company has spent eleven years shaping the delivery landscape in Singapore. Kuusi expressed gratitude to the employees, customers, partners, and riders who supported the journey.
DoorDash confirmed it is working closely with local teams to support stakeholders through the transition. This includes providing assistance to merchants, consumers, and couriers affected by the cessation of services in the four impacted nations.
In addition to these exits, the company is implementing limited operational changes in other global locations. This includes a strategic decision to increase investment in specific engineering roles based in the United Kingdom to bolster its core technology.
Despite the significant scale of these withdrawals, DoorDash stated that the actions are not expected to materially impact its financial outlook. The company reaffirmed the financial guidance ranges previously provided to investors on 18 February 2026.
The withdrawal comes after DoorDash expanded its global footprint through the acquisition of Deliveroo in October 2025. While the acquisition initially aimed to consolidate its European and Asian presence, the current move signals a pivot toward higher-margin regions.
Deliveroo first entered the Singaporean market in 2015, growing to become one of the primary competitors in the local food and grocery delivery sector. Its departure will leave the remaining market share to be contested by other regional operators.
The firm has pledged to maintain service standards until the final day of operations. Riders and merchant partners have been advised that support remains available to ensure a smooth conclusion to all outstanding business obligations.
