Consumer foodservice continues to develop and grow in Norway
Consumer foodservice in Norway saw further growth in current value sales in 2025, albeit at a slower rate than in the previous years of the review period. Foodservice value sales growth was supported by menu price increases, premiumisation and sustained consumer demand for dining experiences. While cost inflation continued to pressure operators, higher average spending per visit supported overall expansion in the market. Experience-led concepts, hybrid entertainment venues and health-orientated dining gained traction, reflecting evolving consumer expectations. At the same time, delivery, takeaway and drive-through channels remained structurally important, reinforcing convenience-led consumption. Chains leveraged digitalisation, loyalty ecosystems and operational scale to stimulate growth, while independents competed through local sourcing and concept originality. Overall, the industry advanced on the back of experiential strategies, technology adoption and a resilient social dining culture.
