Impact of COVID-19 on Catering Services and Food Contractors Market

The outbreak of the coronavirus disease acted as a massive strain on the market for catering services and food contractors in 2020, with governments globally imposing restrictions on domestic and international travel limiting the need for the services offered by these establishments. Measures taken by national governments to contain transmission have led to a decline in economic activity, with countries entering a state of lockdown, and the outbreak is expected to continue to negatively affect businesses through 2020 and into 2021. However, catering services and the food contractors market is expected to rebound from the shock over the projection period as this not linked to permanent or fundamental weaknesses in the global economy.

Drivers and Restraints of Catering Services and Food Contractors Market:

The rapidly growing tourism industry around the world is a key factor that is expected to drive the growth of the global catering services and food contractors market during the forecast period. Additionally, growing consumer preference for mini buffets is another factor that is estimated to drive growth in the target market over the foreseen period. Since mini meals are convenient and packed in disposable trays, this type of meal is preferred for small gatherings or functions where space is limited. Also, the increasing industrialization of various industries is another factor that is predicted to drive the growth of the target market during the conjecture period. In addition, the establishment of various medical and educational institutes is also likely to support the growth of the world market.

However, the growing preference of consumers for online food delivery services is a major factor that is determined to slow the growth of the global market over the outlook period. The online foodservice offers a simple and convenient ordering process through a mobile app. The continued trend observed in the market is that air travel around the world is anticipated to support the growth of the target market in the coming years. Technological advancements and innovative product launches are the main factors that can create potential revenue opportunities for players operating in the target market during the conjecture period. In addition, intensified collaboration, merger and acquisition activities by manufacturers operating in the target market to enhance the company's product portfolio and sales are supposed to support global market growth during the envisioned period.

The European market is expected to register significant growth in terms of revenue during the forecast period, due to the increasing number of M&A activities among manufacturers operating in the region's target market. The Asia-Pacific region market is foreseen to experience the fastest growth rate during the predicted period, due to strict government food safety regulations and a growing preference for promoting healthy eating in several countries in this region. For example, in April 2017, the Singapore government introduced a Comprehensive Government Food Service Healthier Policy (WOG) to encourage healthier eating in Singapore's home, workplaces and communities. In accordance with this policy, Singaporean government entities have provided healthy food and beverages at government events, trainings, meetings and conferences.
