Quick Service Restaurant Market by Product (Hamburgers, Pizzas, Sandwiches), Cuisine Type (American Cuisine, Chinese Cuisine, French Cuisine), Structure, Service Type - Global Forecast 2024-2030


The Quick Service Restaurant Market size was estimated at USD 340.03 billion in 2023 and expected to reach USD 367.34 billion in 2024, at a CAGR 8.51% to reach USD 602.51 billion by 2030.

Quick-service restaurants (QSRs) are restaurants that focus on convenient food service by offering menu items such as burgers, sandwiches, salads, wraps, and other similar foods that can be prepared and served fast. Customers appreciate the speed of service QSRs provide, and many QSRs offer various promotions and discounts, which helps draw customers. The quick-service restaurant (QSR) industry has seen an increase in popularity amongst young consumers due to the convenience of fast food. There have been efforts to improve customer satisfaction through seasonal additions of new dishes and drinks by QSR outlets. Despite this growth, high operating costs and concerns associated with maintaining food quality and consistency control impede the market growth. QSRs widely focus on product quality assurance to achieve a trusted customer base, and market players constantly invest in franchising and marketing to expand their global presence. QSRs are adopting self-service and AR/VR technologies to engage their customers better while providing loyalty programs and avid discounts on food and drinks.

Regional Insights

The QSR market is constantly advancing in the Americas region, driven by the presence of established convenient food chains and the preference of the local population to consume outside fast-food. The rise of food delivery and digital transformation has further assisted in elevating the market growth in the region. The regional players in the U.S. and Canada are also providing diverse offerings to meet the preference of different countries and ethnicities. Europe, characterized by well-recognized independent and franchise-based QSRs, is shifting to health-conscious and ethical options. The region has a strong travel industry across France, Italy, and the UK, enabling players to achieve a larger customer base. The inclination of the youth population towards low-priced, easy-to-go menus and eating options and increased participation of women in the workforce, rising living standards in cities such as London, Seoul, Shanghai, Los Angeles, Mumbai, and others provide considerable scope for the expansion of QSRs. The U.S. and Europe have also started to introduce tools that enable them to administer and assure service quality standards within quick-service restaurants.
