FOODSERVICE AUSTRIA 2015

GIRA Foodservice has been updating every 10 years a multi client study about the structure of the Foodservice Market in Austria. Our newly published study has been given an overview of the Foodservice market in Austria based on 2014/2015 key facts & figures as well as past evolution since 2008 and future trends up to 2016, 2020 and 2025. 

In terms of turnover, almost 1 030 euros were spent in 2014 on eating out of home per inhabitant. Almost 85% of the total value are generated by the commercial foodservice market. 

The meals which are consumed out of home represent around 134 meals and snacks per year per inhabitant, or around 2,6 meals per week.

For the Social Foodservice market, between 2015 and 2025, there will be the same pattern of virtual stagnation for the market as a whole with slight growth in the number of meals served but a more favorable increase in value thanks to higher average meal checks. The highest average annual growth rate that is expected over the period concern particularly the Education sector.

For the Commercial Foodservice market, the market in value is likely to grow from 2015 on, with regular forecasts up to 2020-2025. 

Fast food chains, Restaurant chains, Transport foodservice operators, Hotel chains and Leisure foodservice operators will all contribute to the growth over the coming years.The various sectors of the commercial foodservice market will develop in different ways in future years.

Some key figures about food purchases in the foodservice market in Austria are also given: the commercial foodservice sector is generating 81% of the total amount of food purchases in the foodservice market.

The Austrian population is very "patriotic": the large majority of Austrian people think that food products originating from their own country are better in quality and so prefer to purchase food products from local / regional / national suppliers as much as possible.
