GIRA Foodservice has been updating every 5 years a multi client study about the structure of the Foodservice Market in Portugal. Our newly published study gives an overview of the Foodservice market in Portugal based on 2016/2017 key facts & figures as well as future trends up to 2020.
In terms of value, almost 630 euros are spent each year on eating out of home per inhabitant. Over 87% of the total value are generated by the Commercial Foodservice market.
The meals which are consumed out of home represent 14% of all meals eaten by Portuguese people, i.e. an average of 102 meals and snacks per year per inhabitant, which gives another ratio of 2 meals per week. The many insights given by GIRA Foodservice that characterize the Portuguese foodservice market are, by way of example, as follows:
Examples of new concepts are for instance: new burger concepts, Japanese / Asian food, street food (with a high number of independent snack-based outlets, numerous kiosks in urban areas, pop-up outlets such as vegan points of sale in summer 2017) etc…
Other trendy concepts are linked with a higher consciousness for healthy food:
The AHRESP is mentioning a 10% market share for the number of healthy meals offered in the menus of the commercial foodservice sector with fish and meat dishes representing the lion share of the menus.
Additional concepts offering salads, fish, less fried meals etc…. are additional examples of what can be found increasingly.
Generally speaking, the demand is orientating towards higher quality, a better service, the Portuguese population has been "breeded" correctly now.
Rui SANCHEZ of MULTIFOOD Group: "With a budget of 20 or 25 euros, one can eat better in Lisbon or Porto than in any other city in Europe. As for the high-end segment, there is still a lot to do…."
