Consumer health awareness is transforming the Fast Food and Takeaway Food Services industry. Heightened awareness of the nutritional content of fast food and a conscious effort by consumers to choose healthier options have influenced demand. Fast food brands have responded by introducing a range of healthier, premium choices with less fat, sugar and salt. Changes in consumer preferences have also prompted an influx of new players offering higher quality fast food options. For example, the number of salad and juice bars and sushi stores is increasing. The COVID-19 outbreak and the associated trading restrictions have adversely impacted fast food outlets. Revenue has grown at an annualised 0.2% over the past five years and is expected to total $21.1 billion in 2022-23, when it will jump by an estimated 1.5%.
