Market Trends of europe foodservice Industry

Cafes & bars dominate the food service outlets in Turkey, followed by QSRs

  • Foodservice outlets in Turkey were dominated by cafes & bars, followed by quick service restaurants (QSRs) and full-service restaurants (FSRs), in 2022. The cafes & bars sub-segment is expected to register a CAGR of 4.30% during the study period. This growth can be attributed to the increasing demand for vintage bars, nightclubs, and cafes, as well as the popularity of Turkish alcohol and a wide variety of Arabian appetizers. As a result, the number of outlets grew from 72,634 in 2020 to 73,142 in 2022. The number of foodservice outlets in Turkey declined by 25.53% in 2023 compared to the previous year, which was due to the earthquake in Turkey and Syria. It led to destruction of infrastructure and displacement of people from the major cities of Antakya, Sanliurfa and Aleppo. More than 8,000 buildings, highways, and seaports were demolished. The country is currently in the process of massive reconstruction to restore economic activity.
  • Cloud kitchen is expected to be the fastest-growing sub-segment in the market studied. It is projected to register a CAGR of 6.55% during the forecast period. The cloud kitchen industry witnessed significant growth following the pandemic, driven by the surge in online food delivery and takeaways. Popular food delivery applications like Trendyol and Yemeksepeti were downloaded over 76 million times to date. The majority of Turkish people rely on meal delivery apps to order food. The number of quick service restaurants is also growing due to consumers' preference for convenient and affordable food options. The high meat consumption in the nation has fueled the demand for foods like pizza, hamburgers, and chicken teriyaki. In 2021, the average daily consumption of red meat was 49.34 g, and the average yearly consumption of chicken was 21 kg per person. The leading quick service restaurant chains in Turkey with the highest number of stores include Burger King (700 stores), McDonald's (589 stores), and Pizza Hut (171 stores).

French full service restaurants offer local cuisines and exclusive experiences, such as quinoa bowls, poulet tandoori, and bouillabaisse

  • In France, the average order price for full service restaurants (FSR) was observed to be the highest among different foodservice types in 2022, at USD 34.17. Consumers in France have a strong preference for supporting local businesses, particularly small establishments that prioritize local sourcing. With less corporate oversight, FSRs have the freedom to experiment with menu items, promotions, and community outreach programs, helping build long-term customer loyalty among local residents. To stand out from the competition, FSRs are more inclined to develop unique menus, dining areas, and experiences exclusive to their business. Popular dishes offered by FSR cuisines in France include the Quinoa Bowl, Poulet Tandoori, and Bouillabaisse, priced at USD 16, USD 10.5, and USD 25 per 300 g, respectively.
  • The demand for cloud kitchens is expected to increase in France due to people's busy schedules and the growing penetration of e-commerce channels. The rise of online food delivery platforms like Uber Eats, Deliveroo, Just Eat, and Glovo has led to an increased demand for online food delivery, thereby driving the need for cloud kitchens. Burgers and pizza were popular dishes ordered through cloud kitchens across the country in 2022. These popular menu items are priced at almost half the average order value. The popularity of fast food in recent years has prompted quick service restaurant (QSR) chains in France to expand their menu selections. The top QSR chains in the country include McDonald's, Burger King, Domino's, and Subway, with 1530, 467, 431, and 406 outlets, respectively. Popular fast-food items such as burgers, pizzas, cheesecake, and baguettes have experienced growth in both QSRs and cloud kitchens due to rising demand. Burgers and pizza are priced at USD 12.5 and USD 13.8 per serving, respectively, in the country.
