Consumer Foodservice in Taiwan
May 2022
Consumer foodservice in 2021: The big picture
Taiwan managed to withstand the COVID-19 pandemic well in 2020, seeing only a slight current value decline thanks to a strong response to the epidemiological situation. However, a COVID-19 outbreak in the country in May 2021 hit consumer foodservice hard.
2021 key trends
The government implemented various preventive measures during COVID-19. From the beginning, it implemented tracing in consumer foodservice, whereby customers had to provide their contact details.
Competitive landscape
Consumer foodservice remained a fragmented industry in 2021, with no player holding a double-digit share in terms of either value sales or outlet numbers. However, President Chain Store Corp remained in the top position, holding a strong lead over its rivals.
Independent foodservice developments
Independent consumer foodservice saw a current value decline in 2020, whilst chained continued to see growth. This pattern continued in 2021, with chained operators seeing a slower decline than independent.
What next for consumer foodservice?
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, consumer foodservice players in Taiwan executed contactless transactions, launched ready-to-cook meal solutions/packages to sell via e-commerce, and introduced takeaway lunch boxes to meet the new demand. Consumers also adapted to the new way of dining away from restaurant premises.
