Food service refers to the industry or business involved in preparing, distributing, and serving food and beverages to customers. It encompasses various activities, including menu planning, food preparation, cooking, serving, and maintaining food safety and hygiene, all aimed at meeting customers' dietary needs and providing a pleasant dining experience.
The main types of food service include full-service restaurants, quick-service restaurants, institutional food service, and other categories. Full-service restaurants offer a complete dining experience with table service, where customers are seated and served by waitstaff. Food service systems can be categorized into conventional, centralized, ready-prepared, and assembly-serve systems. These systems are utilized across different sectors, including both commercial and non-commercial settings.

This food service market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The food service market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $2,348.94 billion in 2023 to $2,593.76 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.4%. The growth during the historical period can be attributed to several factors such as the increasing number of working women, rising demand for online meal ordering, expansion in food and beverage services, growing interest in themed restaurants, and a surge in vegan food products.
The food service market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $3,888.65 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 10.7%. The projected growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors such as rising demand for convenience foods, increasing tourism, greater consumption of dietary foods, a surge in ready-to-eat meals, and a growing number of food courts. Key trends expected to shape this period include the integration of technology in food service, the implementation of digital payment solutions, advancements in kitchen automation, the development of online platforms, and innovative food preparation methods.
The growing demand for convenience foods is expected to drive the expansion of the food service market. Convenience foods, which include pre-packaged or pre-prepared items designed for quick and easy consumption with minimal preparation, cater to the needs of busy consumers. These foods are typically ready-to-eat or require only simple steps such as heating or mixing, aligning with increasingly hectic lifestyles. The rising preference for convenience foods is attributed to time constraints and the desire for quick, efficient meal solutions. Food service providers address these needs by offering prompt, ready-to-eat options through streamlined takeout and delivery services, thereby making high-quality meals more accessible and time-saving. For example, in March 2022, Blue Diamond Almond reported that the ready-to-eat meal segment in the US generated $46,916 million in revenue in 2022, with a projected 0.83% compound annual growth rate expected by 2026. Consequently, the demand for convenience foods is a key driver of growth in the food service market.
Major players in the food service sector are developing innovative solutions, such as AI-powered personalized food and recipe platforms, to meet individual preferences and dietary needs while optimizing meal planning and preparation. These AI-driven solutions aim to enhance the meal planning process, making it healthier and more enjoyable by tailoring recommendations to users' specific requirements and preferences. For instance, in August 2023, Samsung Electronics, a South Korea-based technology company, introduced a new AI-powered food service and recipe platform. This platform utilizes advanced Food AI to recommend meals based on user preferences and seasonal ingredients. It offers over 160,000 recipes and serves as a personalized assistant for discovering new dishes, creating customized meal plans, and ordering ingredients online, with features that adapt to users' dietary needs and nutritional goals.
In November 2021, Restaurant Brands International Inc., a Canada-based company specializing in quick-service restaurant brands, acquired Firehouse Restaurant Group Inc. for an undisclosed sum. This acquisition was aimed at expanding Restaurant Brands International's presence in the fast-casual dining segment and capitalizing on Firehouse Subs' established brand recognition and customer loyalty.
