PROSPECTS AND OPPORTUNITIES
Cost of prime city locations will continue to rise, presenting a challenge for brands
As urbanisation in South Africa continues, the cost of real estate in prime city locations is expected to rise, making it difficult for foodservice businesses to secure affordable spaces or for individuals to purchase a franchise. For independent restaurant owners looking for prime locations within busy city centres and other areas with high foot traffic, rent prices are expected to continue rising.
Impact of eVisa extension, major sporting events, and retail property development set to drive growth of consumer foodservice
The expansion of the eVisa system, as announced by the President during his State of the Nation (SONA) address in February 2025, is poised to significantly enhance the ease of travel to South Africa. By streamlining the digital visa application process, tourists will be able to obtain visas more quickly and at a lower cost, thereby encouraging a higher number of international visitors.
Changing consumer preferences and tastes will require adaptability by foodservice players over forecast period
Different foodservice locations will have to adapt over the forecast period to cater for various demographics by tailoring their offerings to meet the changing needs and preferences of South African consumers. In urban centres such as Cape Town and Johannesburg, foodservice businesses will need to focus on convenience and quick service for busy professionals and urban dwellers, offering healthy, takeaway options and integrating technology for online ordering and delivery.
