Executive summary

Consumer foodservice performance improves

Total consumer foodservice (CFS) value sales registered healthy growth in 2007 with fast food posting the highest growth. Factors such as availability, innovation, price, promotion, and most importantly, hectic lifestyles, stimulated demand for consumer foodservice. Expansion into delivery services, a wider variety of food menu items as well as extension into the breakfast market all prompted market growth. All sectors in CFS registered value growth in 2007.

Rising raw material costs lead to increases in unit prices

Unit prices across all sectors increased with the rising cost of raw materials. Rising global oil prices affected the cost of packaging as well as transportation. Poor crop yields due to adverse weather conditions impacted supply and led to higher prices when supplies of flour and rice fell short. Major players such as McDonald’s and Starbucks declared increases in unit prices in 2007, with McDonald’s price increase the third time since 2006.

Taiwanese consumers have developed a dining-out habit

Double-income families are becoming very common amongst couples aged below 40 years, in both city and rural areas. This means there is less time for family life for many couples. Cooking, especially on weekdays, is seldom seen in family life because of time constraints. In addition, due to the high density of commercial areas, it is very easy to access food outlets near work and in neighbourhood areas. According to a 2006 EICP survey, most workers have their three daily meals away from home. Eating out has become the norm in Taiwan and heavily influences the CFS industry.

Independents reign over chained outlets

There is an abundant range of convenient options to satisfy consumers' hunger, ranging from street food stalls/kiosks and teashops to convenience stores located on virtually every street corner. Most of this food is cheap and hassle free. Street stalls/kiosks account for the largest number of outlets in the industry and many of them are independently owned and operated. With the large number of independent outlets, high sales volume contributes to high sales value even though chained CFS outlets may derive better profits from the higher prices charged. In addition, with rising unit prices, independent outlets are better alternatives for consumers on tight budgets.

Future growth driven by cafés/bars

The cafés/bars sector is expected to see value sales continue to grow strongly over the forecast period. Ready meals appeal to consumers who are convenience driven. A forecast high rate of growth reflects rapid sector development; chained cafés/bars have increased in number with the entrance of new players located in high-traffic areas. In addition, cafés/bars have started to offer meal items on their menus instead of a beverage-only offer. Consumers can now purchase breakfast sets while buying coffee for their daily caffeine fix.
