It comes after an explosion of rapid grocery start-ups onto the market in recent years, including Getir and Gorillas.
Asda senior vice president of ecommerce Simon Gregg said: “We want to create more opportunities to conveniently shop favourite Asda products and offer the broadest range of delivery options of any grocer, giving customers the flexibility to choose how and when they shop with us.
“Our partnership with Deliveroo will extend this further, as Asda customers across the UK will soon be able to get products delivered in as little as 30 minutes.”
Deliveroo director of Grocery UK&I Georgie Williams said: “Asda offers great value for money and we’re delighted that Deliveroo customers can shop from a huge range of products, bringing even more choice to families and households across the UK.”
