List of Diagrams |

| 1. Proportional Importance Of The Main Sectors Of The UK Market For Fast Food, By Sector, 2001 | 29 |
MSI believe that the value of the UK fast food market increased by some 37 percent between 1996 and 2000. However, the performance of the individual sectors within the market varied significantly during the review period
MSI have identified the following as the main factors affecting demand for fast food within the UK:
| · | consumer expenditure |
| · | demographic trends |
| · | lifestyle trends |
| · | competitive products |
The largest sector within the UK fast food market is the sandwich sector, representing some 42 percent of the total UK fast food market in 2000. MSI believe that the growth rates experienced in the sandwich sector are a result of the trend towards more healthy diets and an increase in the level of innovation which has been introduced to the sector. This sector is however, becoming saturated and MSI forecast that growth within the sector will begin to slow down before the end of the forecast period, although overall growth will be some 15 percent between 2001 and 2005.
The hamburger market is the second largest sector of the fast food market. MSI believe that the hamburger market has recovered despite the Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy scare in 1995. Indeed, the market is estimated to have increased by some 48 percent between 1996 and 2000 and has remained stable in terms of proportional importance of the total fast food market between 1997 and 2000. The pizza and pasta market is estimated to have reached a value of £920 million (1.5 billion) in 2000.
Competition is expected to increase within the sector as the number of new companies emerging in the sector rises. MSI believe that this sector will continue to show the most significant growth of the traditional fast food sectors throughout the forecast period as a result of increasing demand for home delivery and the increase in online ordering.
The ethnic food sector is facing increased competition as consumers demand a wider variety of international foods due to increased awareness arising from an increase in international travel. The most buoyant sector within the ethnic food market is the relatively new Mexican sector. MSI estimate the value of the Mexican food sector to be £86 million (144 million) 2000.
MSI believe that a number of opportunities for suppliers exist within the fast food market as a result of an increase in the number of fast food outlets, legislation, changes in technology and changes in consumer demand. Indeed, major potential exists in the development of innovative packaging, particularly for the Chinese and Indian sectors which are diversifying their services to provide chilled meals which require packaging to prolong the shelf life of the food.
