The increasing online presence of fast food vendors is notably driving the market growth, although factors such as health concerns pertaining to the excessive consumption of fast foods may impede the market growth. Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Key Fast Food Market Driver
The increasing online presence of fast food vendors is notably driving the fast food market growth. The increasing penetration of smartphones, coupled with the rising accessibility of the Internet, is promoting the sale of fast food online. E-commerce platforms enable consumers to choose from a wide range of brands. Brand-owned online formats and pure-play e-retailers are among the various types of e-commerce portals that offer fast food.
E-commerce vendors allow customers to collect information and compare various fast food product varieties and types available. Vendors are motivated to offer fast food through online platforms, as it gives them easy access to the market and reduces their overhead costs by eliminating the need to rent or lease retail premises and hire workers. Therefore, the increasing online presence of fast food vendors will stimulate market growth during the forecast period.
Significant Fast Food Market Trend
The growing number of fast-food outlets is a key trend influencing the fast-food market growth. The influx of people into urban areas and a substantially large white-collar demographic segment have led to an increase in the number of food service outlets. Varied tastes and preferences for different types of food and beverages, such as fresh baked goods and hot beverages, have further led to the emergence of fast-food outlets and QSRs. Moreover, the growing popularity of malls and shopping centres has encouraged many new players to invest substantially in the distribution of fast food through these centres.
The growth in infrastructure, such as new airports and highways in developing countries, provides scope for major fast-food chains to establish new outlets. Many major fast food outlets are setting up their franchises in developing countries such as India and China. For instance, Dunkin' Brands Group Inc. has a tie-up with Jubilant FoodWorks to operate Dunkin' Donuts-branded franchisee stores in India. Thus, the growing number of stores and retail outlets is expected to propel the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Major Fast Food Market Challenge
Health concerns pertaining to the excessive consumption of fast foods may impede the fast food market growth. The consumption of fast food can lead to various health issues such as obesity, diabetes, and others. Research studies have found a direct correlation between fast food consumption and health issues. Such studies discourage many consumers from eating fast food, which will hinder the growth of the market during the forecast period.
The rising occurrence of health issues associated with food habits and lifestyle has made consumers more conscious about the food items that they consume. The rising awareness among consumers about the high number of calories and few micronutrients persuades them to avoid consuming fast food. This, in turn, is likely to restrain the market growth.
The market share growth by the non-vegetarian fast food segment will be significant during the forecast period. Non-vegetarian fast food products are gaining popularity among the working population. Some such on-the-go fast food products popular in the global market are non-vegetarian wraps, burgers, sandwiches, and pops.
