Foodservice Insights & Trends - Street Food

Summary

Time-poor consumers are demanding ‘ultra-convenient’ meal solutions that can be consumed on the go. Traditionally, this has been an audience captured by QSR. However, street food operators, including trucks, markets and kiosks, are gaining prominence. Mobile operators benefit from avoiding ever-rising rental prices and having flexibility in where they operate. Offering opportunities for impulse consumption, street food operators are able to capitalize on a fear of missing out (FOMO). The climate of street food market varies between developed and developing markets. Necessity, rather than indulgence/experimentation, is key across developing markets in which transportation links and home facilities make it difficult for consumers to cook regularly themselves. Shorter, nimbler supply chains will continue to ensure that street food operators will remain ahead of the curve compared to restaurants in terms of food innovation.
