What next for packaged food?
FOODSERVICE
Sales to Foodservice
Sales to foodservice fall sharply as the COVID-19 lockdown leads to the closure of foodservice establishments from mid-March-June, with further restrictions on operations emerging through the year
Campaigns for the transition to a mainly plant-based diet and the rising number of vegetarian/vegan restaurants offer newer growth avenues for food suppliers
Food supply and health and traceability concerns foster a growing emphasis on locally produced packaged food
Consumer Foodservice
Lockdown closures and restrictions lead to sharp sales declines in consumer foodservice, with many outlets forced to shut down
Home food preparation trend set to prove robust as consumers continue to embrace home-centred lifestyles in an uncertain environment
Growing popularity of ethnic and international cuisines offers new, less tapped or wider growth avenues for consumer foodservice in a shrinking landscape

Packaged Food
In packaged food we consider two aspects of food sales: 1) Retail sales. 2) Foodservice. Retail sales is defined as sales through establishments primarily engaged in the sale of fresh, packaged and prepared foods for home preparation and consumption. This excludes hotels, restaurant, cafés, duty free sales and institutional sales (canteens, prisons/jails, hospitals, army, etc). Our retail definition EXCLUDES the purchase of food products from foodservice outlets for consumption off-premises, eg impulse confectionery bought from counters of cafés/bars. This falls under foodservice sales. For foodservice, we capture all sales to foodservice outlets, regardless of whether the products are eventually consumed on-premise or off-premise. Foodservice sales is defined as sales to consumer foodservice outlets that serve the general public in a non-captive environment. Outlets include cafés/bars, FSR (full-service restaurants), fast food, 100% home delivery/takeaway, self-service cafeterias and street stalls/kiosks. Sales to semicaptive foodservice outlets are also included. This describes outlets located in leisure, travel and retail environments. 1) Retail refers to units located in retail outlets such as department stores, shopping malls, shopping centres, super/hypermarkets etc. 2) Leisure refers to units located in leisure establishments such as museums, health clubs, cinemas, theatres, theme parks and sports stadiums. 3) Travel refers to units located in based in airports, rail stations, coach stations, motorway service stations offering gas facilities etc. Beyond the scope of the foodservice research are captive foodservice units that serve captive populations around institutions such as hospitals, schools, and prisons. This is also known as institutional sales.
