Players adapt to the environment with a shift towards efficiency and value-driven strategies
In 2025, consumer foodservice in Chile posted further, if slower, volume and current value sales growth, compared to the previous years of the review period. Rising living costs, persistent price pressures and uncertainty surrounding the presidential elections weighed on consumer confidence. With purchasing power eroding, households reduced visit frequencies and gravitated towards more affordable options, value-led menus and promotional activity across cafés/bars, fullservice restaurants, bakeries and limitedservice restaurants alike. At the same time, market demand continued to normalise following the postCoronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic rebound: the recovery of tourism helped lift traffic in urban corridors and hotellinked foodservice, while operators across segments, from coffee shops to family dining and specialised concepts, focused on enhancing service, updating formats and expanding menu variety to stay competitive in an increasingly crowded landscape.
