Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, consumer foodservice in Chile continued to be affected by consumers' disposable incomes and price sensitivity. As foodservice operators have experienced increased input costs, these costs have been passed on to consumers.
2024 key trends
Chile's inflation decreased throughout the year, but it had still not reached the central bank's target of 3%, making it a relatively expensive country. This is impacting industries such as foodservice, where consumers have been opting to save money by preparing meals at home.
Competitive landscape
The competitive landscape of limited-service restaurants experienced significant activity from international brands in 2024, with Little Caesar's Pizza standing out. The brand has rapidly gained share by offering a simple menu of family-sized pizzas in a convenient “hot and ready” format.
Independent foodservice developments
Independent players experienced moderate growth in 2024, although most categories struggled to fully recover to pre-pandemic outlet and sales numbers. Cafés and specialist coffee and tea shops have continued to rise, driven by a growing emphasis on breakfast and brunch, featuring more elaborate offerings than traditional Chilean breakfasts.
What next for consumer foodservice?
Consumer foodservice is expected to remain polarised, with a continued preference for both budget-friendly options and more fine dining ones. In particular, significant growth for local gastronomic offerings is expected.
