Industry Overview

Various factors increasing contribution of food services sector to GDP

1. Increasing food expenditure at restaurants

A household spends approximately 38% of its out-of-home dining spend at quick service restaurants (“QSRs”),

followed by casual dining restaurants (“CDRs”) (31%) and cafes (14%). The high share of QSRs in the overall spend is driven by easy access, competitive price points, combos and deals, making it as one of the most favored among young people and young office goers.

2. Increasing non-vegetarian population of India

According to data released by Government of India in 2014, it was estimated that 72% of males and 71% of females aged 15 years old and above were non-vegetarian. 

3. Increasing eating-out and ordering-in behavior

Urban consumers nowadays do not need any special occasion to eat out. Occasions for eating out can vary from going shopping and on casual outings to spending free time. 

QSRs are the most preferred destination for eating out. In financial year 2020, 38% of consumers preferred eating at QSRs while only 31% preferred eating at CDRs. Indians are eating out not only to consume food but also to socialize and to experiment with various cuisines. The trend of eating out is increasing across all sections of society, irrespective of economic class.
