Executive summary

Growing demand in 2006

Consumer foodservice in France grew at a faster current value rate in 2006 than the review period CAGR. The modern foodservice channels, led by fast food, street stalls/kiosks and 100% home delivery/takeaway are the main drivers for growth, as consumers evolve into new eating habits. Independent consumer foodservice companies however continued to decline in terms of outlets while chained companies used franchising strategies to increase the number of outlets at a faster rate in 2006 than over the review period. In addition, transaction volume experienced another drop in 2006, as French consumers reduced the number of occasions they ate out.

France copying the US model?

France is becoming Americanised, as French consumers favour modern foodservice channels as opposed to traditional channels represented by full-service restaurants (FSR) and “other” cafés/bars. Fast food is growing at a phenomenal rate in terms of outlets and value terms, despite current health concerns. Furthermore 100% home delivery/takeaway and street stalls/kiosks are fashionable as modern consumers are increasingly busy and seek convenience. Furthermore, consumer foodservice companies adopt aggressive promotional activities in order to seduce the consumer.

McDonald’s still leading the way

Highly fragmented consumer foodservice industry is dominated by the independent companies. Within chained consumer foodservice, however, McDonald’s continues to lead in both outlets and value terms in 2006, despite growing health concerns regarding burger fast food. Overall, however, consumer foodservice is dominated by domestic players, although a few multinational companies continue to expand and share a large part of the value sales.

Stand-alone remains favourite

Within consumer foodservice, apart from self-service cafeterias, the preferred location for development remains stand-alone locations. However, franchising allowed companies to develop new outlets at retail, travel or even leisure and hotels locations. Nevertheless, this strategy can prove to be dangerous, as it requires a high level of know-how and management on the part of the franchisee.

Modern foodservice formats to drive future growth

Growth during the forecast period is predicted to come mainly from fast food, 100% home delivery/takeaway and street stalls/kiosks, as independent and chained FSR and café/bars struggle to attract consumers. This will be largely due to the ongoing VAT problem surrounding traditional foodservice and their inability to compete with modern foodservice channels’ aggressive promotional activities. Furthermore, consumers increasingly want their food even faster and healthier. This is likely to benefit the growth of casual dining, which is predicted to develop over the forecast period.
