Canada-The Future of Foodservice to 2021

Canada-The Future of Foodservice to 2021

Summary

"Canada-The Future of Foodservice to 2021", published by GlobalData, provides extensive insight and analysis of Canada's foodservice market over the next five years (2016-2021) and acts as a vital point of reference for operators or suppliers.

Sales value in Canada's foodservice profit sector rose at a strong CAGR of 3.1% from 2014-2016. This growth is forecast to continue to 2021, at a CAGR of 3.4%. Between 2014 and 2016, growth in all channels was driven to a greater extent by rising transactions numbers, as outlet growth remained weak or stagnant.

The FSR and QSR channels lead the Canadian foodservice profit sector, generating a combined 63.6% of total revenue in 2016. While all three key restaurant channels (FSR, QSR and most notably coffee and tea shops) are dominated by chain operators, the country's pub, club and bar channel remains heavily fragmented, with independent operators generating nearly 90% of total channel sales value in 2016.

The large majority (86%) of the country's population currently resides in only four of Canada's thirteen provinces and territories, limiting expansion opportunities for operators beyond key southern regions. Growth in the country's foodservice market is also increasingly challenging as rising numbers of Canadian consumers feel uncertain and concerned about their personal financial situation.

Scope

Sales value in the Canadian QSR channel rose at a strong CAGR of 4.7% between 2014 and 2016, with growth forecast to accelerate to 2021 at a sector-leading CAGR of 5.1%. Despite steadily falling unemployment rates and, on average, high levels of disposable income, the many challenges currently facing Canada's economy are resulting in lowered financial confidence among many consumers, who are increasingly trading down from FSR to the more affordable QSR channel.

The coffee & tea shop channel is heavily consolidated, with market leaders Tim Hortons and Starbucks generating a respective 70.9% and 18.2% share of total channel revenue in 2016, while independents merely claimed a 2.2% share of the market. It is becoming increasingly challenging for independent operators to penetrate and thrive in a heavily consolidated and saturated coffee and tea shop market, where Tim Hortons and Starbucks alone represent a 66% share of total outlets and generate nearly 90% of total sales value.
