Summary

China Foodservice Market Size and Trends by Profit and Cost Sector Channels, Consumers, Locations, Key Players, and Forecast, 2021-2026” published by GlobalData provides extensive insight and analysis of the Chinese Foodservice market over the next five years (2021-2026) and acts as a vital point of reference for operators or suppliers.

The Chinese profit sector generated total revenue of CNY6,110.6 billion ($947.5 billion) in 2021, registering a CAGR of 3.3% from CNY5,194 billion ($781.7 billion) in 2016. This growth was led by the increase in the number of transactions and the number of outlets during 2016-21. The outbreak of the Delta variant of COVID-19 in mid-2021 quickly turned into a regional outbreak impacting 16 provinces. Many major cities were locked down and strict measures were implemented across the country. Consequently, these actions led to a decline in travel, canceled holidays, and fewer social activities, which hampered the profit sector. Home deliveries and take-aways played a significant role in the sector in 2021. Take-away sales grew at a CAGR of 16.1% during 2016-21, while dine-in sales registered a negative CAGR of 2.4%. Independent operators continued to dominate China’s profit sector in terms of sales. However, chain operators fared better than independent operators during the pandemic owing to their greater financial stability and quick adaptation to changing consumer demands. In addition, many operators chose innovative ways to survive during the pandemic and were able to diversify their product offerings by focusing on deliveries. They also updated their menus by adding meal kits and ready-to-eat/ready-to-cook products, along with expanding into retail.
