Fast-Food Franchises in the UK - Industry Research Report

Fast Rise: the Cost-Of-Living Crisis In 2022-23 Will Support Demand For Cheaper Fast Food In the Current Year

The Fast-Food Franchises industry has been influenced by changing consumer preferences and the convenience of online food ordering. Demand for cheaper, on-the-go food is boosting sales of fast-food chains. The rise of vegetarianism and veganism has helped smaller franchises that focus on serving these niche markets, but more traditional chains have also innovated and expanded their menu offerings. Revenue is expected to fall at a compound annual rate of 0.5% over the five years through 2022-23 to £10.9 billion.

This industry includes franchised fast-food restaurants where patrons pay before eating. Purchases may be consumed on-site, taken out or delivered. Most industry establishments also sell beverages such as water and fizzy drinks, but they do not offer alcohol.
