Executive summary
Slowdown in Economy Hurts Food Sector
The foodservice sector has been badly hit by the combination of a troubled world economy, a tightening of consumer credit, falling house prices and rising unemployment. Concurrently, rising wage demands in developing countries, among other factors, have led to a marked increase in the cost of food. The combination of these events has seen consumers reigning in expenditure, with the result that overall in 2008, growth in transactions and value sales was markedly lower than experienced previously in the review period.
Fast Food Prospers, Coffee Falters
Whilst there was an overall slowdown in market growth, some sectors benefited from the adverse conditions, McDonald’s being the most visible beneficiary. In contrast to fast food, coffee vendors saw a substantial deceleration in growth, with the most notable of the caffeine casualties being premium coffee vendor Starbucks, which saw a dramatic decline in its fortunes. The economic malaise which the country is experiencing has meant consumers are foregoing surplus expenditure when they can, pushing the sales of premium coffee down, whilst buoying sales of cheap, on-the-go food, such as that offered by McDonald’s et al.
Private Equity Down
Although overall private equity investment in the consumer foodservice market has experienced a slowdown, significant sales are still going ahead. The most notable development in private equity in 2008 was NBGI Private Equity’s backing of the buyout of selected assets from Food & Drink Group Plc, the bars and restaurant group that owns the Jamies wine bar and Henry J Bean’s brands.
Chained Outlets Feel Pinch of Recession
Overall, chained operators performed poorly in terms of outlet numbers 2008, with three of the six sectors experiencing a decline. A combination of rising rents, steeply escalating utility costs and a downturn in the global economy forced the closure of hundreds of outlets. Fast food, 100% home delivery/takeaway and self-service cafeterias were the only sectors which experienced growth in outlet numbers, driven by their offer of more affordable meals.
Prospects Slow for the Industry
Outlet numbers, transactions and value sales are all expected to fall over the forecast period, due to the difficult economic conditions. Certain sectors will, however, fare well as a result of the straitened economic conditions; for example, cheaper formats such as chained pizza, Latin American cuisine and specialist coffee shops will continue to perform well.
