Fast Food Restaurants Industry in the US
Over the last five years, the global fast food restaurants industry has expanded despite varying consumer tastes and a recovering global economy. As disposable income rose during the period, customers increased their spend on luxuries, such as eating out. Additionally, fast food operators outperformed full-service restaurants during this period, as many consumers capitalized on the availability of lower-priced and convenient food choices. But like every other industry, the fast food restaurants industry is not free of setbacks and challenges. Let’s glance at a few of them here to see the bigger picture of the hindrances awaiting companies operating in this industry:
Healthier lifestyle – The healthy eating index is expected to remain steady in 2019, as customers become more aware of issues related to weight and obesity, fatty-food intake, and food safety concerns. This factor particularly affects the growth of meat and grease heavy fast food restaurants.
Shifting consumer choices – Industry growth is sensitive to changes in consumer spending. However, when personal consumption expenditure is high, customers are more likely to spend money on eating out at healthy fast food restaurants.
