PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Forecast period growth to remain slow but steady
As inflation in the UK eases, value sales of cafés/bars (at constant 2024 prices) are expected to continue growing slowly over the forecast period, fuelled by the gradual recovery in the number of outlets and transactions, although the latter will likely remain below pre-pandemic levels by 2029. High operating costs, driven by inflation, will continue to impact pricing of food, drinks, and utilities, although the pace of the increase is expected to be slower than in previous years.

Towards the end of the review period, cafés/bars in the UK experienced significant shifts in consumer behaviour, particularly concerning takeaway, delivery, drive-through, and eat-in services. Major chains expanded their drive-through locations to cater for on-the-go consumers.
