Fast Food & Quick Service Restaurants Market Growth & Trends

The global fast food and quick service restaurant market size is expected to reach USD 383.81 billion by 2027, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc., expanding at a CAGR of 5.1% over the forecast period. The market is expected to witness a major shift in 2020 owing to the spread of COVID-19. The crisis has led to complete lockdowns in major economies of the world. Social distancing has evolved as the essence of survival, and thus most public places, which welcome a gathering, have been put on hold. Thus, the quick service and fast food restaurant market is expected to witness a slowdown. These businesses have been heavily relying upon take away and home deliveries to cope up with the situation.

Wow Bao, a Chinese quick service restaurant chain offering a variety of steamed buns and pot stickers, has taken refuge with a strong delivery system. It is collaborating with various neighboring restaurants and third-party delivery channels to enhance its customer reach and boost the revenue. The collaborating eateries are expected to simply use Wow Bao’s precooked and frozen buns and pop stickers to prepare the final dish by steaming and griddling it respectively. With this, the participating restaurants are expected to make a profit of around 40%.

Beyond all this, the industry is expected to witness rapid growth over time. For instance, in May 2019, Restaurant Brands International announced plans to expand from 26,000 restaurants to over 40,000 locations in the next decade. The plan precedes with the strategy of opening over 1400 stores annually.
