Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
Consumer foodservice in Brazil saw a slowing of growth in terms of current value sales and transaction volumes in 2024, along with a decline in outlet numbers. This year continued to be challenging for operators in Brazil, especially for smaller and independent players, mostly family-owned businesses.
2024 key trends
The inflationary context impacted consumer foodservice in 2024, reducing consumers’ available income and leading them to decrease the frequency with which they ate at restaurants. As a way to attract these more price-sensitive consumers, in 2024 a surge of initiatives emerged, particularly amongst limited-service restaurants, characterised by bold price promotions.
Competitive landscape
2024 was a dynamic year of acquisitions, mergers and changes in operations in chained consumer foodservice. In June 2024, Zamp, a Brazilian restaurant operator backed by Abu Dhabi's sovereign wealth fund Mubadala, announced the acquisition of Starbucks in Brazil for millions of reais (BRL).
Independent foodservice developments
The performance of independent foodservice operators in 2024 presented a complex scenario, marked by general growth, but with specific challenges that significantly affected these establishments. Chains were able to recover more quickly from the consequences of the pandemic, and benefited from their wider reach and robust marketing and loyalty strategies.
What next for consumer foodservice?
Slow, stable growth is expected by all measures for consumer foodservice in Brazil in the coming years, although growth will be limited by Brazilians’ increasing concern to save and invest more money due to local and global economic instabilities, as well as the rising cost of living. Considering the current landscape of the consumer foodservice industry in the country, where the vast majority of players are independent, a greater increase in both the number of outlets and sales is anticipated for chains.
