Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, value growth in overall consumer foodservice slowed considerably compared to the previous year. This was primarily due to the fact that only minimal price increases were recorded, in contrast to the exceptionally high inflation experienced during the energy crisis of the preceding two years.
2024 key trends
In 2024, the changing consumer habits surrounding socialising and alcohol consumption continued, increasingly impacting consumer foodservice. Among younger audiences under 25, and especially those under 20, going-out behaviour underwent a significant transformation post-pandemic, which was further exacerbated by the sharp rise in prices since 2022.
Competitive landscape
McDonald’s maintained its leadership in the consumer foodservice sector in Austria with a share of 5%.
Independent foodservice developments
Although consumers' willingness to spend has recently been more favourable in consumer foodservice compared to retail, the sharp rise in operating costs resulted in thin profit margins, challenging the profitability of many smaller, independent operators in 2024. A key factor contributing to this challenge is urbanisation, with the decline of foodservice outlets in rural areas, where profitability is increasingly difficult to sustain.
What next for consumer foodservice?
Following the rise in inflation in 2022 that weakened consumer demand, the consumer foodservice industry continued to perform relatively well in Austria. As consumers demonstrated a strong desire to visit restaurants and foodservice establishments over the review period, with inflation driving higher value growth levels, value growth is expected to slow down across the forecast period.
