Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
The consumer foodservice industry in Egypt recorded positive value growth in 2024, despite facing economic and geopolitical challenges. High inflation led to significant price hikes, while currency devaluation affected the importation of raw materials.
2024 key trends
In 2024, key market players were being directly impacted by boycotts, which hindered overall value growth. Inflationary pressures compounded these challenges, as businesses were forced to raise prices due to sourcing raw materials through imports, while the ongoing currency devaluation created instability.
Competitive landscape
In 2024, a significant trend shaping the competitive landscape was the shift away from major international brands toward local alternatives. Some consumers are opting to boycott global chains like McDonald's and select local dishes instead of traditional fast-food options like burgers and fries.
Independent foodservice developments
Consumers in Egypt have been seeking unique and exclusive experiences through foodservice. For example, Kasr El Kababgy offers traditional Egyptian dishes, and the restaurant has branded itself as the best of the best.
What next for consumer foodservice?
The shift in consumer behaviour towards local brands is expected to continue throughout the forecast period. Since 2022, rising prices of international brands, such as KFC, have significantly changed purchasing habits.
