Originally printed in the October 2022 issue of Produce Business. Pandemic-driven e-commerce sales have surged across Europe, and this momentum has sustained sales despite ongoing economic challenges.

During Euromonitor International’s annual consumer foodservice industry research, analysts on the ground in 54 countries are asked to find the most innovative new foodservice concepts launched in their home markets that year. Collectively, these concepts offer an important glimpse of emerging local and regional trends, and often indicate the start of broader global shifts. This year was exceptional.
「自宅が中心」の未来に挑む、旅行者・移動者向けフードサービス | Market Research Blog
※本記事は英語でもご覧いただけます：Travel and On-the-Go Foodservice Must Prepare for a Home-Orientated Future 新型コロナウイルス（COVID-19）のパンデミックは、フードサービス業界に恒久的な影響をもたらしました。多くの国で、政府による飲食店での食事の規制や、入店できる人数の制限といった短期的な感染拡大防止対策が講じられ、同業界の売上は大きな打撃を受けました。在宅勤務への移行がさらに進むといった長期的な変化は、消費者が今後どのように移動するかということだけでなく、フードサービスの売上を左右する人々の出足にも影響をもたらすことになります。 トラベル（旅行者、移動者向け）フードサービス市場はこれまで、予測可能な消費者の行動パターンを基盤として拡大してきました。在宅勤務が常態化し、企業が移動費を削減するようになると、消費者の行動パターンは予測がしづらくなり、自宅で物事を済ますことが多くなります。これによって人々は、外出時のフードサービス体験により多くを期待し、より贅沢にお金を使うようになります。...
Travel and On-the-Go Foodservice Must Prepare for a Home-Orientated Future
The Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has had a lasting impact on foodservice. In many countries, government restrictions on dine-in access and operational capacity were devastating for sales but were designed to be short-term remedies to keep the virus from spreading. Longer-term shifts, however, such as a move towards more working from home, will impact not only the way consumers move around in the future but also the foot traffic foodservice operators depend on for sales in travel locations.
2018 International 25: Virtual beers and facial recognition
The digitization of the restaurant experience — and the many opportunities that stem from it — is one of the most important trends in foodservice. Smartphone ownership is rising worldwide, and a growing number of consumers are using their devices to interact with restaurant brands, researching menus, placing orders for takeout or delivery, and earning or redeeming rewards.
5 lessons from the largest foreign foodservice brands
The International Top 25 — the largest foodservice brands based outside the U.S. and Canada — had a strong year in 2017. As a group, they continued to outperform both their top 25 North American counterparts and the global foodservice industry overall. All but one of the 25 chains enjoyed positive sales growth in 2017, and the top three international chains — all Japanese c-store brands — posted collective sales gains of $3.1 billion in U.S. dollars, or 10.8 percent growth from the previous year.
a growth catalyst or cannibalizing opportunity?
Delivery is growing faster than any other dining occasion, but can it create incremental sales for foodservice overall? Cost is still a barrier for greater levels of participation, but with better technology, apps and more digital engagement than ever, food and dining is increasingly available at the push of a button. This could have an impact on delivery’s long-term potential to draw more of the consumer’s meals to foodservice.

Continuous adaptation | Nation's Restaurant News
Following a tumultuous 2016, 2017 has followed a similar script, with few signs of meaningful growth acceleration in any key market. China remains an economy in transition, with the searing growth rates of the previous decade giving way to high-single-digit annual value expansion over the next five years. Meanwhile, major economies such as Brazil, the U.S., and Western Europe face both great uncertainty and relatively flat overall traffic growth.
Worldwide expansion: Where to go and who to know
As ubiquitous as chained foodservice brands are in major markets, they are still only a relatively small portion of the overall global foodservice industry. But, saturated conditions and limited growth potential in developed markets — where most of the largest chains are concentrated — now forces operators in the U.S. to expand abroad to hit business growth targets.

Analyst uncovers 3 keys to global growth
Chained foodservice still makes up a small portion of the global market, but saturated conditions and limited growth potential in the developed markets where most of the largest chains are concentrated have forced operators to expand abroad to maintain growth targets. International expansion is a key component of current corporate strategies, but the strategies themselves have shifted to accommodate the needs and preferences of a more modern global consumer.

International Top 25: 5 key insights on global chains
The top 25 foodservice companies based outside North America have largely outperformed the global foodservice industry since 2010. The largest, most dominant companies from Japan and the U.K. are driving growth by expanding to new markets, with Japan’s largest convenience-store chains leading the way. However, emerging markets such as China, South Africa and Mexico are also producing companies with greater international influence, a trend that is likely to continue over the next few years.
