    Looking ahead: Deepening merchant care across Asia<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Building on this momentum, foodpanda will expand its merchant care programme across all 10 Asia-Pacific markets in 2026.

    \u201cResearch has shown that F&B spaces in malls have expanded roughly five times over the last decade, further intensifying the competition merchants face.
