Executive summary

Consumer foodservice industry continues to expand in 2007

The consumer foodservice industry in Thailand achieved a strong growth rate in current value terms in 2007 boosted by stronger spending per transaction, despite slower growth in outlet numbers and transaction volumes. Price increases and the introduction of more premium menus enabled higher spend per transaction in 2007.

Despite an apparent slowdown in outlet growth in percentage terms, the number of new outlets in 2007 rose over the previous year, indicating promising outlet expansion. Location choice was a key factor when opening new outlets. Greater limitations on availability of prime locations in urban areas forced foodservice operators to expand into other cities and towns outside Bangkok. More players now have a presence upcountry, thanks to demand for convenience and quality food. The development of the modern retail landscape with strong expansion of hypermarkets, supermarkets and convenience stores into the provinces has also proven conducive to store openings in these regions.

Healthy and premium items characterise new menus

Menu diversification has continued to be a key aspect in the development of the consumer foodservice industry, providing an impetus to sales. In 2007, new menu items mostly revolved around healthier dishes, reflecting the growing health and wellness trend, which is already strong in the retail scene. Newer menu items in 2007 commonly introduced by foodservice operators include salad, fish items and fruit juice. In addition to healthier menus, premium dishes were actively introduced onto the market, such as the cheese-themed new menus in Pizza Hut. Operators have been encouraged to introduce these healthier and premium menus thanks to the higher disposable income of target consumers, which in turn worked to boost the spend per transaction in 2007.

Local Thai operators maintain their lead in an otherwise fragmented market

In an industry where Thai consumers comprise the majority of the consumer base, the competitive environment in consumer foodservice is highly fragmented, characterised by numerous independent local outlets, compared to a smaller number of chained operators. In this fragmented industry, the players with the largest value shares were all primarily local companies. Although multinational companies have a strong presence in Thailand, ranging from McDonald’s to Starbucks, they have yet to topple these local players which are well established in the country.

Brighter prospects expected for consumer foodservice in the forecast period

Over the forecast period, consumer foodservice is expected to experience a stronger positive performance in value terms. This will be driven by many factors including rising disposable income, strong efforts to increase value by operators and the trend of eating out more due to busier lifestyles. The significant rise in food prices will directly have an effect on consumer foodservice, with the highest growth seen in value sales as opposed to transactions or outlet numbers. Value growth will also be supported by more premium dishes, as Thai consumers are likely to have stronger purchasing power.
