Change in Food Habits Encourages Growth of Global Fast Food Market, TMR Says

The competitive landscape of the global fast food market includes companies such as Yum! Brands Inc., Burger King Worldwide Inc., McDonald’s Corporation, Jack in the Box Inc., Doctor’s Association Inc, Dominos Pizza Inc., and Wendy’s International Inc. The competition in the market is intense owing to the presence of a large number of fast food players catering to a smaller population. The market players are focusing on adding healthy options in their menus owing to the growing demand for nutritious and natural food among customers.

Key Players Focus on Asia Pacific and Latin America as Upcoming Markets for Fast Food

Among the key regions in the global fast food market, Asia Pacific and Latin America have emerged as the promising regions and are expected to register significant growth in the near future. The market players are strategizing to expand across the developing countries in these regions. “It is important for these market players to expand judiciously and steadily to avoid losses due to unplanned expansions in these regions,” cites a TMR analyst. The key companies had initially expanded across North America where fast food is very popular. High real estate cost and labor cost are the major hiccups in the growth of the players in this region. However, the increase in disposable income in emerging economies in Asia Pacific is anticipated to push the market’s growth. Furthermore, the cheap labor cost in the emerging economies such as China helps to increase the operating margin of these market players.

Growing Awareness about Healthy Eating Compels Market Players to Introduce Nutritious Items in their Menus

Changing food habits, coupled with the rapid growth of the middle class population in emerging economies have aided the growth of the global fast food market. Rise in disposable income and the growing demand for convenient and affordable food at low prices have also resulted to the growth of this market.


However, the growing health concerns regarding the presence of unsaturated fats in the fast food items and the ensuing food safety regulations have restricted the growth of the global fast food market. The rise in consumer awareness about healthy food options has led to the decline in sales of fast food products. As a result, the market players are including healthier fast food options containing hormone-free meat, natural vegetables, hormone-free meat, and organic ingredients, across their stores. This would open new opportunities for the growth of the market during the forecast period.

The global fast food market is expected to expand at a CAGR of 4.40% during the period between 2013 and 2019. The market stood at a valuation of US$477.1 bn in 2013 and is anticipated to be worth US$617.6 bn by 2020.

Fast food refers to mass-produced food that can be prepared and served very quickly. First popularized in the U.S. in the 1950s, it is believed to have less nutritional value compared to other foods. Fast food draws from various culinary styles to offer consumers food items that are high on the taste quotient.

The global fast foods market observed significant expansion in North America in its early years. This is the region where the market’s foundation was laid. North America is still a large market for fast foods. In the coming years, however, the non-traditional fast foods markets are expected to generate a significant chunk of the global revenue – these include Asia Pacific and Rest of the World. In these regions, an expanding population base coupled with economic growth and increasing disposable income levels are the major factors driving the fast food market. Peer pressure among consumers to switch to Western eating habits is also a key factor fueling the growth of this market.


However, in traditional fast food markets such as North America and Europe, due to an evident shift in consumer food choices from fast foods to natural foods, the growth of the overall market will be negatively impacted. Consumers are increasingly becoming conscious about the ill-effects of food additives in the long run. Thus, market players are compelled to switch to natural ingredients, hormone-free meats, and organic produce to make their products attractive for consumers. On the contrary, in the developing countries of Asia Pacific, the recently gained economic prosperity and surging income levels have led to higher spending on contemporary foods, which include fast foods as well.

The report segments the global fast foods market on the basis of delivery chain, food type, and geography. By product type, burgers/sandwiches, pasta/pizza, seafood, chicken, Asian/Latin American, and snacks are the segments of this market. The market of pizza/pasta and burgers/sandwiches will display a higher CAGR compared to Latin American food or chicken during the forecast period. Nevertheless, developed markets will witness a rising preference for Latin American food and chicken due to their bold flavors and health benefits.

Geographically, in 2013, North America stood as the largest market for fast food followed by Asia Pacific. In North America, the busy lifestyle of individuals that does not leave adequate time for fresh cooking on a regular basis and dependence on convenient restaurant food are driving the market. Drive-thru food joints and food-on-the-go are a commonality in North America where people eat out frequently. In 2013, Asia Pacific and North America collectively held a share of more than 64% in the global fast food market.
