The European restaurants and takeaways market has enjoyed strong demand from consumers seeking varied dining options to suit their busy lifestyles. There’s a huge number of food establishments for people to visit, providing various cuisines from all over the world. Europe's well-established out-of-home dining scene and the public’s willingness to dine out have supported revenue expansion. Industry growth has been slowed by recent challenges stemming from the COVID-19 pandemic, severe inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty. Revenue is forecast to contract at a compound annual rate of 7.9% over the five years through 2025 to €488.1 billion, including an expected 3.5% climb in 2025. Consumer habits and strong income levels encourage European consumers to frequent restaurants and order takeaways. The convenience of ordering tasty dishes to doorsteps has also fuelled demand, with platforms like Deliveroo and Just Eat reporting strong growth. However, this has also raised price competition and weighed on profit. Growing health awareness is a significant trend in the industry, encouraging restaurants and takeaways to roll out more healthy options. The industry has rebounded well since the COVID-19 pandemic damaged dine-in revenue as restrictions kept consumers at home, shifted work patterns and drastically reduced tourism. Food companies have also grappled with severe inflationary pressures, which have eaten into profit and constrained consumer spending on pricey restaurants and takeaways. Companies raised prices to protect profit but were often unable to pass on cost increases in full due to intense competition and consumer price sensitivity. Revenue is slated to swell at a compound annual rate of 7.2% over the five years through 2030 to €690.6 billion. Improving consumer finances and increasingly busy lifestyles will fuel demand for convenient grab-and-go food, as well as fast-casual restaurants. A preference for convenience will continue to support online food ordering, benefitting companies with delivery capabilities. Many will rely on food ordering platforms like Deliveroo to reach a wider consumer base. Evolving consumer tastes and intense competition will stimulate the introduction of new, healthier food options to menus, including vegan, vegetarian and organic food offerings. Investment in technology will be key to enhancing efficiency and providing a better customer experience.
