Polarisation trend, as eating out remains central to Taiwanese culture
Consumer foodservice value sales continued to grow in current terms in Taiwan in 2025 but became more polarized. Consumers traded up to premium, experiential dining and upscale meals for special occasions, while seeking strong value options in convenience stores, limited-service restaurants and street food stalls and kiosks for everyday consumption. This trend reflected both rising living costs and a fragmented, intensely competitive market where independent and chained operators constantly revolved and innovated to stand out. At the same time, persistent labour shortages and rising operating costs increased the pressure on operators and motivated them to adopt more automation and utilise more digital tools. Domestic demand remained strong and resilient because eating out is deeply embedded in Taiwanese culture as a part of daily lifestyles and social activity. Consumers still pursued the enjoyment and benefits gained from experiences of eating out even with the high cost of living.
