Consumer foodservice in 2024: The big picture
In 2024, value sales of consumer foodservice in Taiwan recorded positive growth, while transactions and outlet numbers continued to rise. Strategic partnerships, technological innovation, and a strong focus on sustainability drove growth for consumer foodservice.
2024 key trends
In 2024, inflation remained a significant challenge, forcing foodservice operators to balance rising costs with consumer expectations for value. Labour shortages exacerbated these pressures, prompting many restaurants to adopt robots and automated systems to streamline operations, reduce labour dependency, and maintain service quality.
Competitive landscape
In 2024, 7-Eleven, operated by President Chain Store Corp, maintained its leadership in the consumer foodservice, benefit from its food offerings and convenience store coffee. As people have returned to the office, convenient ready meals and coffee are playing a key role in workers daily lives.
Independent foodservice developments
Independent food service operators faced significant challenges in 2023-2024, particularly regarding labour shortages and inflation. These obstacles compelled many to adopt automation technologies or shift toward self-service models to streamline operations.
What next for consumer foodservice?
Consumer foodservice will rapidly evolve over the forecast period, influenced by sustainability, digitalisation, and labour solutions. As consumers increasingly prioritise eco-friendly practices, restaurants are responding by minimising waste and promoting sustainable food cycles.
