Executive summary

Continued growth spurred sales growth

The Swedish economy continued its growth during the first half of 2007. During the second half, growth slowed but did not directly affect consumer foodservice sales. Discretionary income allocated to eating out continued to rise, resulting in continued strong growth for number of outlets, transactions and value sales.

More casual dining

Casual dining is still a small consumer foodservice niche in Sweden but growth rates are impressive and most trade sources expect this format to expand even further in the future. More companies also plan to transform their formats into casual dining. The competitive situation in casual dining is still not as fierce as in other channels and there is room for further growth. The majority of casual dining outlets are in FSR while casual dining is still very marginal in fast food. The existing concepts are often influenced by US trends. O’Learys, Harrys and Texas Longhorn are three successful examples of chained casual dining outlets.

McDonald’s dominates

McDonald’s is the largest player in consumer foodservice, far ahead of its competitors. The company dominated sales for many years and no competitor really managed to challenge its lead. Behind McDonald’s are Atria Concept (burger fast food and street stalls/kiosks), Statoil Detaljhandel AB (convenience stores fast food) and Max (burger fast food) fighting over the second rank. Domestic burger fast food chain Max was one of the companies to increase its value share most in 2007.

Chains gain share

Independent companies continue to dominate consumer foodservice in Sweden. The strongest growth, however, comes from chained players. Cafés/bars, especially specialist coffee shops, and fast food accounted for most of the growth among chained outlets. The positive development in consumer foodservice also attracted the interest of equity companies. Domestic EQT and UK based Palamona Capital partners are two examples of companies that invested in consumer foodservice and contributed their financial strength to sales expansion.

Continued but slower growth

Continued growth is expected in consumer foodservice, although not as strong as during the review period. Growth will be dampened by a weaker Swedish economy. Fast food and cafés/bars will be the most dynamic. In the latter case, growth will be propelled by specialist coffee shops. New outlet openings will be the main factor boosting growth but specialist coffee shops will also benefit from the trend towards spending more time outside of the home. The only channel to see declining sales will be street stalls/kiosks. These have an old-fashioned image and face increasing competition from convenience stores and outlets where consumers can eat in.
