Global Contract Catering Market Report – 2011 Edition

Revolutionary developments during the last few decades in science, telecom, IT, infrastructure, explorations, etc. have had far reaching effects globally. With changing demographic patterns; increased travelling necessities for work and pleasure; expansion in business and industry, healthcare, education, and other fields, a new work culture has evolved. This created the need to provide professional foodservices for both the social and work related needs. Contract catering mode established itself successfully meeting the challenging requirements of foodservice outsourcing needs of the society at large. The economic downturn in the recent past led to a decline in the global contract catering market in 2009, however, the market bounced back during 2010 in response to economic revival all across the globe.

The market for contract catering is well established in the developed markets while it is fast emerging in developing countries. The Western European region, particularly the UK and France, and the US are the major markets of outsourced catering services. The business and industry sector has historically accounted for maximum revenue generation in the market, however, the long term growth opportunities lies in the services to education and healthcare sector, in particular.
