Executive summary

Saturation affects expansion

Consumer foodservice in Taiwan is heavily saturated with both domestic and multinational players. Taiwan is known to be a country in which food is widely available at low prices, for example from street stalls/kiosks. As such, many companies have difficulty in finding a suitable location in which to establish new outlets. Such companies have had to seek locations outside of cities such as Taipei in order to expand further. Southern Taiwan is considered by many trade sources to be a potential region for further expansion.

More consumer foodservice establishments providing healthy “light” options

Consumers in Taiwan place great emphasis on their health and the concept of a healthy lifestyle has been actively promoted by the Government of Taiwan, as well as on television programmes. Many consumer foodservice establishments have started to offer healthy dishes on their menus in order to cater to the needs of health-conscious consumers. For example, MOS Food Services Inc has introduced products made with healthier ingredients such as spices that are known to be good for one’s health and olive oil, which are low in calories. Dante Coffee & Foods Co Ltd has included green tea products in its menu, as green tea is known to be very good for a person’s health.

Increased competition from multinational companies

Many multinational brands are present in consumer foodservice in Taiwan, which has increased the level of competition and which may in turn increase the level of quality. Although consumer foodservice is at saturation point in Taiwan, many companies believe that there remains room for further growth, as evident from the progression of McDonald's Restaurant (Taiwan) Co Ltd over the review period.

Chained consumer foodservice has the advantage

Facing saturation, intense competition from both domestic and multinational players and increases in the cost of raw materials, chained consumer foodservice has an advantage in terms of expansion and sustainability. It has a strong presence, as there are many chained consumer foodservice outlets, which are easily accessible to consumers. Furthermore, chained consumer foodservice can make use of economies of scale in order to distribute increases in the cost of raw materials. Many chained consumer foodservice operators have a strong foothold in the sectors in which they operate and are in a strong position to deal with price competition and marketing campaigns.

Price competition could affect value sales and constant value growth

Many consumer foodservice outlets offer “economy” meals or organise promotions in order to increase their sales. However, in view of the increasing cost of raw materials, price competition in order to offer consumers low prices may not be beneficial to consumer foodservice. If price competition prevails it could affect value sales and the constant value growth of consumer foodservice over the forecast period.
