Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, consumer foodservice in Norway continued its recovery from the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The industry has surpassed the 2019 pre-pandemic level of foodservice current value sales, strongly supported by inflationary pressure on prices, but not in terms of the number of outlets or transactions.
2024 key trends
While lower than in 2023, inflation continued to have a significant impact on consumer foodservice in Norway in 2024, primarily visible in rising food prices and changes to consumer behaviour. Higher food prices forced consumers to be more cautious with their spending, including on dining out.
Competitive landscape
The highly fragmented competitive landscape of consumer foodservice in Norway was quite stable in 2024, with only marginal increases in value shares. Global chains of limited-service restaurants like McDonald’s and Burger King were to the fore.
Independent foodservice developments
Independents continued to dominate the landscape of Norway in 2024, registering the highest foodservice value sales, transactions and outlet numbers. However, chained consumer foodservice posted the highest growth in terms of foodservice current value sales and transactions, although not in outlet numbers, in 2024.
What next for consumer foodservice?
Consumer foodservice in Norway is projected to see moderate growth in value (constant 2024 prices) sales and transactions during the forecast period, with a rebound in outlet numbers also anticipated. Importantly, various challenges, but also opportunities, are expected to shape its landscape and performance.
