Executive summary

Consumer foodservice witnesses another year of fast growth

During 2007, consumer foodservice in China continued to see a higher growth rate compared to other countries in Asia. A fast-growing domestic economy has resulted in rising disposable incomes, which enables consumers to visit consumer foodservice outlets more often. All consumer foodservice formats saw an increase in sales and number of outlets. Consumers have also been enticed by the growing availability of foreign cuisines and dishes. Hence, pizza 100% home delivery/takeaway and ice cream fast food witnessed the highest growth rates in both value terms and the number of outlets, supported by the operators’ creativeness in offering new eating experiences.

Development of a coffee-drinking culture driving the development of cafés

China is a traditionally tea-drinking country, with the active penetration of the US coffee giant Starbucks in 1999 and the Taiwanese UBC brand, a growing number of local consumers, white-collar workers and the younger generation in particular, favour a cup of cappuccino and latte as their choice. The promotion of the McDonald’s coffee series also shows that the potential growth is not limited to high-end consumers, but to a broad class of local consumers.

Fast food operators make up the top three in the consumer foodservice market

The top three players in the consumer foodservice market in terms of foodservice sales value are all chained fast food operators – Yum! Restaurants China, McDonald's China Development Co Ltd and Ting Hsin International Group. Fast outlet expansion by leading fast food operators is the key driver to their leading shares. On the other hand, the shares of the leading full-service operators are declining with the shutting down of some franchised outlets.

Chained operators continue to outperform independents

As in 2006, all areas of the foodservice industry continued to see a rise in the share of chained units compared with independents. Much of this is due to the rapid development of franchising in foodservice, which resulted in a large number of start-ups. Over the forecast period, chained companies will grow much faster than independent foodservice players and, as long as the chained outlets are growing, the market will move to a more consolidated state.

Growth to remain strong as existing players expand and new players enter

Although consumer foodservice market growth is expected to slow down in the forecast period, it will still remain strong. Outlet expansion by the existing players, especially the leading fast food operators, will continue to contribute to the strong growth in the consumer foodservice market. Trade sources indicate that fast food is far from maturity, although KFC already has over 2,000 outlets and McDonald’s has almost 1,000 outlets in the Chinese market. New entrants will also push the market to go further. In January 2008, the famous doughnuts seller Dunkin’ Donuts announced plans to open 100 franchise locations in Shanghai over the next 10 years. The famous Latin American chained fast food operator Campero also opened its first outlet in Shanghai in May 2007. With more new world-leading consumer foodservice brands entering the Chinese market, the Chinese consumer foodservice market is expected to keep growing in the forecast period.
