Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, consumer foodservice sales continued to grow in current value terms, albeit at a more moderate rate than in previous two years. This slower growth was in part linked to prices rising at a slower rate.
2024 key trends
Consumer foodservice establishments continued to suffer from shortages of experienced staff in 2024, with the hospitality industry in Spain struggling to attract skilled personnel. Moreover, many young people in Spain find the idea of working in consumer foodservice establishments due to low pay and poor working conditions.
Competitive landscape
Chained consumer foodservice operators continued to expand their networks of outlets in Spain. For example, players such as Popeyes Famous Fried Chicken and Papa Johns are among the consumer foodservice operators that continued to invest in ambitious plans to expand their presence in Spain, with both chains seeing new outlets in 2024.
Independent foodservice developments
Independent players still dominate consumer foodservice in Spain both in value terms but also in terms of the number of outlets. However, typical and traditional independent Spanish bars and restaurants are facing increasing competition from new and modern chained establishments that are responding quickly to new consumer trends.
What next for consumer foodservice?
After the good performance in the final two years of the review period and the recovery to pre-pandemic sales levels in current value terms, it is expected that consumer foodservice will only see moderate growth over the forecast period. In terms of outlets, it is expected that the number of bars/pubs and European full-service restaurants will continue to decline, with independent operators expected to be particularly hard hit.
