| Key Note estimates that the UK catering market, as defined by this report, was worth a total of £26.76bn in 2002. The market staged a recovery during the year, with a 4.8 percent increase in sales at current prices, following a poor performance in 2001. |
| Five main sectors are covered by this report: restaurants, fast food and takeaways, contract catering and food-service management, hotels and public houses. The markets for catering at holiday camps and caravan/camping sites, and at licensed clubs, are also included in the figures and are discussed briefly. The report excludes all institutional catering supplied by local authorities and other public-sector agencies, unless this is contracted out to a private-sector company. |
| The market grew by a total of 22 percent at current prices between 1998 and 2002, but the strongest growth was seen in the first half of this period. Price increases played a significant part in increasing the market's value in the latter year, and real growth in sales was low. The sectors that experienced the strongest growth in 2002 were public houses, contract catering and food-service management, and fast food and takeaways. |
| Traditionally, the restaurants sector has been among the market's strongest performers, but its annual growth has slowed in the last 2 years. However, roadside catering and premium restaurants, two subsectors of this market, are still performing reasonably well. The fast-food and takeaways sector is home to a range of individual markets and suppliers. The largest of these markets, sandwiches, continues to experience healthy sales growth, and pizza and chicken restaurants are also doing well. The burger market, however, has experienced difficulties in the last couple of years. |
| The number of public houses is in long-term decline, but pub food sales are increasing, as is their share of total pub turnover. After a disastrous year for the hotel industry in 2001, there has been some recovery in recent months, driven by improved branding at the top end of the market and strong budget-hotel revenues at the lower end of the market. |
| An increasing number of organisations are outsourcing non-core operations, and this trend continues to boost sales in the contract catering and food-service management sector. In addition, the lines between public catering and institutional catering are becoming blurred as traditional contract caterers move into catering for the public. Refurbishment of catering facilities and improved menus have helped to maintain sales growth for licensed clubs and for holiday camps and caravan/camping sites. |
| The catering market is influenced by a number of external factors, including the work-life balance, trends in food consumption, trends in tourism, the weather and consumer confidence. Work commitments, coupled with lifestyles that have generally become busier, have encouraged eating out and the supply of quick and convenient eating options. The trend towards snacking has also had an impact on the catering market. In the workplace, for example, traditional restaurants and canteens are being replaced by snack bars and other snack-based concepts. Healthier meal options are also becoming more popular across all sectors of the market. |
| Tourism trends affect most catering sectors, but particularly hotels and restaurants. Inbound tourist numbers suffered in 2002, but there has been some recovery in 2003. In addition, more UK residents took UK holidays and short breaks in 2002, boosting revenues for some regional hotels and restaurants. Growth in personal disposable income has been strong in recent years, and consumer confidence remains relatively high. |
| In 2002, many of the leading companies in the restaurant, fast food, hotel and public-houses sectors rationalised their brand portfolios and concentrated their resources on their core brands. This was a response to brand saturation in some segments, and was part of a strategy to improve margins. Sectors such as contract catering and food-service management, and restaurants, have witnessed price increases, but others, such as hotels and fast food, have had to resort to price cuts and promotions to attract customers. All sectors of the UK catering industry have had to deal with an increase in regulations and legislation, which has driven up costs, and there has also been a shortage of trained staff. |
| Over the next 5 years, the UK catering market is forecast to grow at a slower rate than it did between 1998 and 2002. Only modest increases in tourist numbers are expected, and growth in the UK's gross domestic product (GDP) will also be lower than in previous years. However, the rationalisation of brands and greater investment in brand refurbishment should be positive factors for the market. |
