Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
Consumer foodservice continued to see current value growth in Sweden in 2024 as the Swedish economy showed signs of improvement. In the context of a lower rate of inflation and rising real wages, consumers displayed increased confidence and proved more willing to spend on eating out or ordering from consumer foodservice.
2024 key trends
As inflation slowed and became more stable in 2024, consumer foodservice price growth also slowed and the overall sales growth was smaller than in 2023 despite higher growth in the number of transactions.
Competitive landscape
Chained consumer foodservice players saw stronger growth than independent operators in 2024 although independent consumer foodservice players still accounted for the majority of outlets. Chained players often have stronger brands than individual operators as well as strong supply chains, the ability to negotiate more favourable prices from suppliers and often superior locations in the most populous areas.
Independent foodservice developments
Consumer foodservice in Sweden continued to be dominated by independent players in 2024. Limited-service restaurants was an exception, with big chains dominating the category.
What next for consumer foodservice?
The Swedish economy is expected to continue its recovery in 2025 and over the forecast period. With purchasing power increasing and confidence rising, local consumers will increasingly look beyond essential purchases and be willing to spend on eating out.
