Executive summary
Major decline in sales growth in 2008
Foodservice sales in South Korea have been hit hard by the economic downturn, with the majority of consumers cutting down on the number of times they dine out. High class, large scale, and stand-alone restaurants in non-busy areas suffered the most, with European, North American, and Asian FSR’s all posting negative sales growth during 2008.
Foodservice chains less affected by downturn
The foodservice industry in South Korea is fiercely competitive and is highly fragmented due to the large number of small family owned restaurants in the country. The fact that foodservice restaurant chains are highly popular due to the fact that they offer high levels of service and food safety and standardised menus means that they have thus far been better able to withstand the impact of the economic downturn than independent operators, many of which have been forced out of business.
Stricter food safety legislation
There were mass protests against the resumption of imports of US beef in 2008 due to consumer fears over mad cow disease. In addition, there were also Avian Influenza and Chinese import melamine contamination scares. In response, many foodservice players looked to reduce their use of American beef, chicken, and Chinese imported ingredients.
Increased price discounting
In response to rising consumer price sensitivity, foodservice providers increased their price discounting activities during 2008 in a bid to attract consumers. For example, a growing number of restaurants are offering special ‘two-for-one’ and ‘free-refill’ promotions. In addition, many chained family restaurants now offer competitively priced set menus for couples. Chained foodservice providers also issue discount coupons in a bid to attract consumers who are celebrating birthdays or anniversaries.
Increasing polarisation
A growing number of foodservice providers are using organic and high quality ingredients in response to rising consumer health and wellness awareness. However, at the same time foodservice players are also under pressure to lower prices due to the economic downturn. As a result, there is evidence of increased polarisation within the segment, with higher income consumers increasingly being prepared to pay extra for higher quality while lower income consumers are attracted more by lower cost food options.
