Executive summary

Consumer foodservice continued to grow in 2007

Consumers are beginning to experience hectic lifestyles, especially with the economic growth and the rising standard of living. Demand for consumer foodservice has continued to increase as consumers spend more time away from home, preferring to dine out, or order a takeaway. There was an increase in the number of fast food outlets and full-service restaurants that provide home delivery services, benefiting consumers with their convenience. With the growth in the tourism industry, Singapore is quickly growing as an entertainment and leisure hub and thus also continues to see growth in consumer foodservice.

Consumers becoming increasingly health conscious

With the general population’s increasing awareness of healthy eating, although consumers are attracted to indulgent delicacies, people are also increasingly on the look-out for quality healthier alternatives as well. During 2007 organic food specialist shops were set up, such as NTUC Fairprice Finest, selling high-quality food items and healthier organic products. Restaurants are introducing healthier food items to their menus, such as Pizza Hut launching the thin crust pizza. Several other restaurants have expanded on their vegetarian menus, and introduced healthier food.

Smaller chained brands compete by offering something different

Smaller chained brands offer varied products and utilise different advertising campaigns to identify with and attract customers. Customers have become more open to fresh and new gourmet concepts, and are likely to try out new varieties of food. While widely recognised brands such as McDonald’s and Subway continue to observe positive results by promoting healthy eating, newcomer in 2005, Carl’s Jr, advertised the abundance of its serving size as compared to the other fast food providers, and, as a result, was steadily attracting considerable attention from fast food enthusiasts with just four outlets as of 2007.

100% home delivery/takeaway popular alternatives for busy consumers

With the increasingly hectic lifestyles in Singapore, more families are becoming dual-income households. People are working longer hours, and thus consumers are beginning to place more value on the convenience of home delivered food. As a result, taking into consideration consumer preferences, companies are capitalising on the increasing opportunity to focus on home delivery methods in order to increase sales. McDonald’s, for example, was aggressively campaigning on its delivery service in 2007, while several other full-service restaurants fashioned menus specially catered for takeaway services. Taking note of the trend, Pizza Hut, in response, also increased its number of delivery outlets in Singapore.

Consumer foodservice benefits from the robust economy

Consumer foodservice in Singapore is expected to continue its positive performance over the forecast period due to the growth in the economy and the increasingly affluent population, thus encouraging more consumers to dine out. The flourishing economy should benefit from the upcoming realisation of several initiatives, including the completion of the integrated resorts in the year 2010, coupled with the already thriving tourism industry, thus boosting the performance of the local entertainment and leisure industry as a whole, in particular the retail and food and beverage sectors.
