Executive summary
Still growing, although slower
The excellent performance that the Argentine economy exhibited in 2007 allowed consumers to enjoy higher levels of disposable income, which was increasingly spent on more indulgent items. Higher levels of employment continued to boost consumption in the lunch segment and consolidated overall sales growth. A higher number of working women, who increasingly chose to dine out as a means to treat themselves, also contributed to sales growth. In terms of overall value sales, 2007 was the third year in a row that saw lower revenue growth than the previous year.
Lack of time boosts consumer foodservice
Argentineans lead increasingly busy lifestyles, due to study and networking commitments in addition to their daily work, as a means to remain competitive in the marketplace. As a consequence, they need to save time spent on other activities. Among the markets to benefit from this trend in 2007 was consumer foodservice, which allowed people to free up time otherwise spent on the preparation of food.
Fragmentation without end
Consumer foodservice in Argentina is particularly fragmented because of the historical lack of companies – beyond family firms – in the industry. Although there was some progress as companies with premium brands gained share in 2007, there remains substantial scope for the development of chained operations. In this market, however, the economies of scale gained by chains are offset by the activities of small independent operations, by not paying all taxes, either through not billing some meals or paying workers in cash, not registering them for social security payment. As taxes are high, small competitors can successfully compete with large companies and therefore market concentration remains minimised.
Chained operations reach all-time highs
As consumers increasingly opt for premium restaurants and non-traditional food, sales through chains continue to grow. As a result their sales reached an all-time high in 2007. This trend was also consolidated because chains opened outlets, particularly in the country’s interior, as a means to take advantage of this trend.
Growth to slow down significantly
Although the economy is predicted to continue to see positive growth, consumer foodservice sales growth is expected to slow down over the forecast period. The main reason for this is the fact that consumer foodservice has reached historical highs in sales, while unemployment has also reached historical lows, which would be difficult to reduce further. The level of employment is an important factor driving lunchtime sales, as most employees eat outside of home in their lunch hour.
