Singapore – DoorDash will wind down Deliveroo operations in Singapore as part of a strategic decision to exit four markets and refocus investment on regions with stronger long-term growth prospects.
DoorDash said the withdrawal from Singapore—alongside Japan, Qatar, and Uzbekistan—follows a multi-month review of country-specific conditions and reflects its focus on markets where it sees the clearest path to sustainable scale and leadership.
The company said it will conduct an orderly wind-down in Singapore and work closely with employees, merchants, consumers, riders, and couriers during the transition.
Miki Kuusi, head of DoorDash International and chief executive of Deliveroo, said, “We’ve made the difficult decision to wind down operations in Qatar, Singapore, Japan, and Uzbekistan. Our priority is supporting our teams and partners through an orderly transition as we focus on the geographies where we can offer the best products and build for long-term success.”
DoorDash said the changes are not expected to materially affect its financial outlook.
The exit comes months after DoorDash completed its acquisition of Deliveroo and formally entered the Singapore market, positioning the move as a major step in its international expansion.
At the time, DoorDash co-founder and chief executive Tony Xu said, “This is the beginning of a new chapter, not the end of an old one.”
Xu also told Deliveroo’s seven million active customers they could expect a “faster, smarter, and more delightful” experience.
As part of the then integration, Kuusi—co-founder of Wolt—was appointed Deliveroo chief executive and relocated to London to oversee the combined international business.
