Stars
Meituan Instashopping GTV growth exceeding 25 percent in 2025
Meituan Instashopping is a Star after GTV grew over 25% in 2025, driven by a shift from food to everything delivery and capturing instant-retail demand.
By late 2025 the platform used a courier network of 7.1 million riders to deliver electronics and cosmetics within 30 minutes, sustaining top market share in instant retail.
The unit still needs heavy marketing spend-Meituan reported ~RMB 6.2 billion promo & sales & marketing for on-demand retail in FY2025-to defend against Alibaba and other rivals.
Keeta International expansion into Middle East and Southeast Asia
Keeta became a Star in 2025 after scaling Hong Kong playbook to Riyadh and Bangkok, driving combined GMV growth of 78% YoY to $1.2bn and market share >15% in both cities by Q4 2025.
High growth masks heavy capex: Meituan spent $340m in 2025 on driver subsidies, marketing, and local ops for Keeta, raising regional CAC to $52.
Management expects Keeta to offset China's slowing take-rate (domestic revenue growth down to 6% in 2025) by targeting 25-30% EBITDA margins in MEA/SEA by 2027.
Meituan Medicine and instant pharmaceutical delivery volume
Meituan Medicine's instant pharma delivery saw annual order growth of 78% in 2025, driven by 24/7 local-pharmacy fulfillment; Meituan holds over 50% market share in China's major cities and processed ~220 million orders in healthcare that year.
AI-Integrated Livestreaming for local services
AI-Integrated Livestreaming for local services boosted Meituan's merchant-discovery engagement by 40% in 2025, helping defend share vs Douyin after integrating generative AI and short-video into the main app.
High growth but capex-heavy: Meituan invested RMB 6.2bn in R&D H1-FY2025 to support this feature, cementing Meituan as the primary local lifestyle portal.
- 40% user-engagement lift (2025)
- RMB 6.2bn R&D spend H1-FY2025
- Higher technical reinvestment required
- Defended market share vs Douyin
Drone Delivery commercial routes in Tier-1 cities
Meituan scaled drone delivery to 30+ commercial routes across Shenzhen and Shanghai by end-2025, capturing a high-share, high-growth logistics niche and targeting annual labor-cost savings of ~RMB 300-500 million over five years.
Heavy R&D spend (~RMB 2.1 billion in 2025 capex/R&D related) keeps Meituan as the low-altitude logistics leader, pushing faster adoption and unit-cost declines.
- 30+ routes (Shenzhen, Shanghai) by 2025
- High-share, high-growth BCG Stars segment
- Estimated RMB 300-500M annual labor savings (5-year run-rate)
