Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
Consumer foodservice in Finland experienced another challenging year in 2024, following the pressures caused by Coronavirus (COVID-19) and high inflation earlier in the review period. The main issues were a chronically underperforming Finnish economy, with little growth since the 2008-2009 financial crisis, rising unemployment, low consumer confidence, below expected inbound tourism flows excluding Lapland, price-sensitive purchasing behaviour and an unwillingness or inability to spend on non-essential options, such as consumer foodservice.
2024 key trends
While remaining significant, the rate of inflation in Finland slowed appreciably in 2024. Food inflation dropped, although some food and drinks products were above the average, such as coffee and cocoa, which suffered harvest-related issues.
Competitive landscape
The majority of value sales in consumer foodservice derived from independent outlets in 2024. The share of chained concepts varied widely depending on the channel.
Independent foodservice developments
Independent outlets vary widely, from fine dining to street stalls/kiosks, for example. Hence, generalising about independent consumer foodservice is not straightforward.
What next for consumer foodservice?
If the economy improves as expected, full-service restaurants and other more expensive foodservice types are well placed to benefit. The impact of remote or hybrid working is not clear.
