Executive summary

2007 confirms potential of the sector

Consumer foodservice grew at a faster rate in current value terms in 2007 than the review period average, confirming the potential of the sector in France. Consumer foodservice operators took advantage of evolving consumption habits, with the development of chained specialist coffee shops, fast food and 100% home delivery/takeaway balancing the limited growth of the mature full-service restaurant and “other cafés/bars” sectors.

Modern and fast-moving lifestyles

French consumers are becoming more accustomed to their fast-moving lifestyles and are seeking more than just fast food. They demand quickly prepared but healthy, tasty and original food, in the most convenient way. The Americanisation of French society means consumers are increasingly aware of the choices available and are ready to try non-traditional on-the-go foodservice, such as chained specialist coffee shops and 100% home-delivery/takeaway.

Independents leading the way while McDonald’s gets stronger

The highly fragmented consumer foodservice industry is dominated by independent companies. Within chained consumer foodservice, McDonald’s France SA remained the clear market leader in 2007. The company increased its share significantly in that year, as it developed its specialist coffee shop brand McCafé. Overall, however, the market is dominated by domestic companies.

Travel, the new location

Travel was the most dynamic location type in 2007. Thanks to the development of the new high-speed railway link between Paris and Strasbourg, the whole railway network underwent renovation, in which consumer foodservice was a key area of development. Parisian airports also boosted their foodservice offer. Foodservice has become a key part of travelling and consumers expect to find an improved and wider offer.

Positive development in the forecast period

Supported by new and developing formats, such as specialist coffee shops and 100% home-delivery/takeaway, the consumer foodservice market is expected to see further growth over the forecast period. The smoking ban, which started in January 2008, is not expected to affect sales in the long term, and, indeed, may well have a positive effect on the fast casual and casual dining offer. However, independent other cafés/bars will face a major challenge to retain their customers and create a younger image in the forecast period.
