How Sentiment Scraping Helps Track Food & Health Trends | Actowiz Metrics

Executive Summary

The food and healthcare industries are evolving at breakneck speed, fueled by shifting consumer preferences, rising health awareness, and the explosive growth of digital platforms. Businesses can no longer rely solely on sales numbers to understand what customers want — they need to know why customers feel the way they do.

That’s where customer sentiment data scraping comes in.

Actowiz Metrics has pioneered the use of web scraping for sentiment analysis, combining advanced AI-powered natural language processing (NLP) with high-volume data extraction from food delivery apps, e-commerce platforms, restaurant review sites, and healthcare marketplaces.

With the ability to track real-time sentiment trends and perform customer sentiment trends analysis, Actowiz Metrics enables:

• Food & health market sentiment analytics for hyperlocal and global markets
• Health product sentiment monitoring for e-commerce platforms like Amazon, Noon, and Flipkart
• Restaurant customer review analytics tools to uncover menu preferences and service satisfaction
• Cloud-based food analytics solutions to integrate insights into existing business workflows

In this case study, we focus on India and UAE — two rapidly growing digital markets — and explore how Actowiz Metrics helped clients increase revenue, optimize product offerings, and enhance customer satisfaction using sentiment scraping.

Industry Background & Market Demand

The global online food delivery industry was valued at over $221 billion in 2022 and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 9.8%, crossing $500 billion by 2030.

India:

• Market size projected to reach $71 billion by 2030
• Top players: Swiggy, Zomato, Domino’s, McDonald’s (via delivery), Uber Eats (legacy data)
• Growth drivers: smartphone penetration, convenience, food variety, competitive pricing

UAE:

• Online food delivery revenue expected to reach $2.79 billion in 2025
• Major players: Talabat, Deliveroo, Zomato UAE, Careem NOW
• Growth drivers: expat population, high disposable income, fast delivery culture

Market Needs:

• Track menu trends : Knowing which items are gaining popularity
• Improve delivery experience : Understanding negative sentiment drivers (late delivery, cold food, wrong order)
• Regional preferences : Tastes in Abu Dhabi may differ from Dubai; Mumbai trends may differ from Bangalore

Healthcare Industry Overview

The global digital health market is expected to surpass $550 billion by 2027, fueled by telemedicine adoption, health-conscious lifestyles, and the popularity of wellness products.

India:

• Growing interest in Ayurvedic, immunity-boosting supplements
• Rapid adoption of teleconsultation platforms like Practo and 1mg

UAE:

• High demand for premium health supplements and skincare products
• Rising preventive healthcare culture

Market Needs:

• Health product sentiment monitoring to detect rising demand
• Healthcare market trend analysis for specific treatments
• Hyperlocal healthcare data to see city-wise demand shifts

The Challenge

Customer feedback exists across:

• App store reviews
• Food delivery app ratings
• Social media comments
• E-commerce product reviews
• Healthcare forum discussions

This feedback is unstructured, often containing emojis, slang, multiple languages, and inconsistent formats.

Trend Changes Are Fast

• A new restaurant item may go viral overnight
• A health supplement can see a surge in demand after an influencer review
• Seasonal trends (Ramadan in UAE, Diwali in India) shift sentiment patterns rapidly

Geographic Sentiment Variations

A healthy smoothie may be popular in Dubai Marina but unpopular in Sharjah due to pricing differences. A spicy dish may be well-loved in Hyderabad but rated poorly in Chennai.
