Executive summary

Consumer foodservice witnessed slower performance in 2008

Consumer foodservice experienced a slowdown in performance in 2008, following the fuel price hikes in mid-year and economic downturn late in the year. Consumer purchasing power was weakened considerably, leading many to seek cheaper dining alternatives or even cook at home. Cheaper dining alternatives such as fast food managed to sustain the performance of consumer foodservice in 2008 as consumers traded down from high-end full-service restaurants. Value-added services such as delivery also helped to attract consumers as they opted to have a pizza delivered to their homes rather than paying extra service taxes at a full-service restaurant.

Economic situation impacts performance

Due to economic downturn and fuel price hikes, it was a challenging time for consumer foodservice players in 2008. Although FSR faced immense challenges as consumers traded down to cheaper alternatives such as fast food, players sought to offer more innovative menu items and promotions to sustain consumer interest. Expansion plans for FSR players were also put on hold as players decided to sit on the fence and monitor the situation. By way of contrast, other cafés/bars and fast food players expanded rapidly in 2008 as they sought to respond to consumer demand for cheap meals.

Domestic players compete with innovative offerings

Although QSR Brands Sdn Bhd (KFC) and Golden Arches Sdn Bhd (McDonald’s) retained their lead in Malaysia’s consumer foodservice market, domestic players were also a factor, with Secret Recipe Cakes & Café Sdn Bhd accounting for third place. Domestic players such as White Café Sdn Bhd also expanded rapidly in 2008, with its affordable menu offerings of local food items and cosy ambience attracting many consumers. That said, there was also an increased presence from domestic players such as Big Apple Donuts and Mr Baoz which aimed to offer novelty to consumers, with Mr Baoz, for example, revolutionising its standard white buns to include attractive coloured and designed buns.

Chained players gain prominence

Independent players continued to dominate Malaysia’s consumer foodservice environment with many street stalls/kiosks scattered around various standalone locations. The popularity of these stalls/kiosks is largely sustained by their economically-priced offerings and tasty local food items. On the other hand, chained foodservice players also gained ground in 2008, with players such as Carl’s Jr entering the scene in 2007. The international brand names coupled with their intensive marketing campaigns attracted consumers to give them a try in 2008. In line with the rapid developments in the retailing landscape, more foodservice players were also making their presence felt in these retail locations, thus underpinning the good performance of retail locations in 2008.

Consumer foodservice performance continues to slow

Consumer foodservice is expected to see weaker performance over the forecast period than during the review period, due to the economic recession that impacted in late 2008 and has continued through 2009. However, consumer foodservice performance is expected to remain positive as consumers’ hectic lifestyles will see them eating out at cheaper outlets and formats. Innovation and continued promotion will also be key drivers for consumer foodservice performance over the forecast period as consumers become more price conscious and wary of the options available.
