Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
Consumer foodservice service in Argentina registered a double-digit percentage value increase in 2024. However, inflation was still at elevated levels, and there was also a double-digit percentage decline in constant value sales.
2024 key trends
Delivery apps have really taken off since the pandemic. Also, increasingly, limited-service restaurant chains in particular are developing their own proprietary delivery apps, which does away with having to pay commission to a third party.
Competitive landscape
Limited-service restaurants continued to lead the competitive landscape. These are mainly burger chains, featuring major international players, alongside several local contenders such as Mostaza which offer their spin on the segment.
Independent foodservice developments
Independent foodservice continued to account for most value sales and also significantly more outlets. However, the competitive landscape is becoming more consolidated and chained operators are gaining year-on-year, particularly through channels such as limited-service restaurants.
What next for consumer foodservice?
The outlook is more positive over the forecast period. Inflation will continue to fall and it is hoped that Javier Milei’s economic policies will start to see more concrete benefits for consumers.
