    LONDON, July 21 (Reuters) - Tesco  TSCO.L , Britain's
biggest food retailer, will expand its rapid delivery reach by
listing its products on the Uber Eats  UBER.N  and Deliveroo
 DASH.O  platforms, it said on Tuesday.
    * The new partnership with Uber Eats will launch in August
and the one with Deliveroo will roll out later this summer,
giving more shoppers access to thousands of Tesco products.
    * Through its own rapid delivery service, Whoosh, Tesco
already offers grocery delivery in as little as 20 minutes from
around 1,800 stores, reaching more than 70% of the UK
population.
    * Since launching in 2021, Whoosh has grown rapidly, with
sales increasing 51% last year. Around 1.5 million customers now
use the service.
    * The Institute of Grocery Distribution estimates the UK
quick-commerce market was worth £2.4 billion ($3.2 billion) in
2025 and forecasts a 10.1% compound annual growth rate through
to 2030.
    * Tesco shoppers using Uber Eats or Deliveroo will be able
to access the benefits of Tesco's Clubcard loyalty scheme,
including lower prices.
    * Tesco's total online sales grew 11% in its 2025/26 year to
£7.5 billion.
    * Last week, Uber agreed to buy Germany's Delivery Hero
 DHER.DE  for $14.8 billion to create the largest food-delivery
group outside China.
