The market valuation is slated to increase from USD 2,540.05 billion in 2022 to USD 5,194.60 billion by 2029 at a CAGR of 10.76% during 2022-2029.

Growth can be attributed to the rising disposable incomes of consumers, evolving lifestyles of consumers, particularly millennials, and the rising number of cafes, restaurants, and fast-food chains. Growing spending on non-homemade foods and a rise in online food deliveries will augment the market growth during the forecast period.

Lockdowns and Travel Restrictions Caused 31.5% Decline in Market Revenue    

The global food service industry witnessed a massive 31.5% decline in 2020, as major markets such as Asia Pacific, North America, and Europe were affected significantly. Across all major countries, fast-food joints, cafes, restaurants, and hotels were shut down to limit the spread of the COVID-19 outbreak. Additionally, the declining tourism activity owing to travel restrictions and lockdowns led to a negative demand trend. Even as restrictions were lifted, only limited services such as takeaways and online food deliveries were functional. On account of these factors, the market growth was hampered during COVID-19.

McDonald’s Eyes Metaverse Entry with New Virtual Restaurant Service   

In February 2022, McDonald’s, an international fast-food giant, unveiled a new range of fancy offerings that combine the physical and virtual worlds with its signature flavors, announcing its big entry into the booming metaverse sector. The America-based fast-food chain said it plans to roll out a new virtual restaurant that features both virtual and actual goods. Food items would also be home delivered, McDonald’s confirmed. As it gears up for this project, the firm reportedly filed several trademark applications.
