Executive summary

Consumer foodservice performs well in 2008

Consumer foodservice in Finland continued its positive performance in 2008, with the vast majority of categories achieving positive foodservice value growth. One of the key factors behind this growth was the establishment of new outlets and the modernisation of existing outlets by two of the strongest players in consumer foodservice, namely Umoe Catering AS and Reitan Service Handel AS. Another key factor was the arrival of the Wayne’s Coffee brand, the largest chained brand in specialist coffee shops in Scandinavia. These factors combined with modern and attractive outlets in categories such as cafés/bars, fast food and full service restaurants, which offer a healthy and varied menu to consumers, ensured the dynamic performance of consumer foodservice in 2008.

Consumer foodservice relatively unaffected by the economic slowdown

Norway also felt the turmoil in relation to the global economic crisis in 2008, however this did not seem to affect consumer foodservice to any great extent, as consumers remained willing to spend their money on food and drink owing to the offer of healthy food choices and a wide variety of options in consumer foodservice. Also, hectic lifestyles meant that demand for convenience food or takeaway products remained strong among consumers. In addition operators in chained burger fast food started to offer healthy options to attract consumers while operators in street stalls/kiosks expanded their menus to include salads and vegetables. Furthermore, “café culture” is strong in Norway not only in the larger cities but also in smaller towns, which led to continued demand among younger consumers for coffee in a relaxed social atmosphere in 2008.

Umoe catering and NorgesGruppen the leading players

Umoe Catering AS is the leading player in consumer foodservice in Norway with a variety of brands of which the leading are Peppes Pizza which was the first pizza full-service restaurant chain in Norway and Burger King for which it holds the Norwegian franchise.

Its main rival is NorgesGruppen AS, which is Norway`s leading grocery retailer but has also built up a strong consumer foodservice portfolio. Technically NorgesGruppen is number 3 after McDonalds, however should one include chains where NorgesGruppen own 50% or less (which for the purposes of this report Euromonitor do not), such as Dolly Dimples (PAM AS) or Kaffebrenneriet, it is actually the largest CFS player in Norway. In terms of its majority owned outlets NorgesGruppen`s activities are dominated by convenience store fast food, principally Mix which is the leading convenience store facia in Norway.

Independent consumer foodservice dominates

Chained outlets are typically located in large Norwegian cities whereas independent outlets are more prevalent in small towns and villages. Independent consumer foodservice continued to dominate consumer foodservice in terms of number of outlets in 2008. In street stalls/kiosks the presence of chained outlets remained negligible while in cafés/bars, full service restaurants and self-service cafeterias the presence of such outlets was relatively low in 2008. However, in fast food the situation was reversed with chained fast food accounting for by far the largest share of outlets in 2008, owing to the presence of well known chained brands such as 7-Eleven, Deli de Luca, Mix, Narvesen and La Baguette.

Positive constant value growth expected over the forecast period

Consumer foodservice in Norway is expected to achieve positive constant foodservice value growth over the forecast period, underpinned by the willingness of consumers of all ages to spend money on consumer foodservice and to eat out more regularly. Also the trend of health and wellness is expected to prevail, leading to the offer of healthier products in fast food. In addition the increasingly hectic lifestyles of consumers will favour convenience, fast food and 100% home delivery/takeaway.
