The global foodservice market comprises of over 8 million outlets comprising of small family owned units to large multinational chains operating thousands of stores worldwide. The cost of food also varies widely depending on the outlet; with full service restaurants (FSR) having the highest cost per meal served and managed foodservice/ contract catering having the cheapest rates. Even the margins differ for each type of outlet. While FSRs tend to have higher margins, quick service/ low service restaurants and managed foodservice/ contract catering sectors have lower margins, and thrive on volumes.
The United States represent the largest market for Foodservice, as stated by the new market research report. Driven by increasing disposable incomes, and changing lifestyles, Asia-Pacific
is expected to offer the highest growth potential for foodservice.
The foodservice industry is one of the largest employers around the world. Major issues affecting the industry include decreasing corporate spending, rising food costs, contamination,
rising energy costs, and labor among others. Due to high competition and various challenges, there is a lot of innovation, branding and consolidation taking place in foodservice industry.
New, healthy and diversified menus are being introduced combined together with branded products. The difference among channels is getting blurred and is leading to new channels like
gastro pubs, satellite outlets and self-service kiosks while increasing the reach of consumers.
Quick Service Restaurants Market (http://www.strategyr.com/Food_Service_Industry_Market_Report.asp) is the
largest and the fastest growing foodservice segment. The higher value proposition, and novelty in menus offered by quick service restaurants is cushioning the segment from the present
economic downturn. The global full service restaurants market is being affected by the economic downturn. As such, the market is expected to offer relatively lower growth opportunity over
the period 2006-2015.
