Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, consumer foodservice in Morocco recorded growth in value terms, demonstrating notable resilience. This positive performance was driven by a combination of economic recovery, evolving consumer preferences, and the continued expansion of outlets. A key driver of growth was the ongoing rise of chained foodservice brands, which broadened their presence and captured nearly 19% of value share, an increase from previous years. These brands benefit from standardised offerings, digital ordering systems, and increasingly robust delivery infrastructure.
2024 key trends
In 2024, consumer foodservice in Morocco navigated a complex landscape shaped by three defining trends, inflation, fulfilment innovation, and experience-driven loyalty. Inflation, though easing from its 2022 peak, remained a key concern, influencing pricing strategies and consumer spending. Operators responded by streamlining menus and introducing value bundles to maintain affordability without compromising quality.
Competitive landscape
First Restaurant International led the competitive landscape in value terms in 2024, offering the brand McDonald's. However, the player lost slight share, as Best Financière SA with Burger King increased its position. Ristorante Pasta Di Luigi, within chained European full-service restaurants, and Pousse Pousse Sarl, in chained Asian full-service restaurants, recorded the strongest increase in market share in 2024, with both players expanding their outlet numbers.
Independent foodservice developments
In 2024, independent consumer foodservice in Morocco faced persistent challenges. Independent outlets continued to lead in terms of volume, accounting for over 80% of total foodservice revenue. However, growth was sluggish, with outlet expansion slowing and revenue growth tapering off. In 2024, independent foodservice revenue grew by just 0.1%, reflecting pressure from inflation and rising operational costs. Transaction volumes remained high, but average spend per transaction declined slightly, indicating cautious consumer behaviour.
What next for consumer foodservice?
Across the forecast period, consumer foodservice in Morocco will be shaped by urbanisation, digital innovation, and shifting consumer values. Continued urban expansion and the growth of the middle class are expected to drive demand for convenient and affordable dining solutions. Chained brands are likely to gain further ground, particularly in fast-casual and café formats. Operators are set to invest in AI-powered ordering systems, personalised loyalty applications, and smart kitchen technologies to improve operational efficiency and customer experience. Meanwhile, delivery and drive-through formats will continue to evolve, incorporating real-time tracking and dynamic pricing models
