The Belgian foodservice report is a study of the industry in light of the robust economic environment and changing demographics in the country.

The Belgian foodservice market remained insulated from the European recession.

Key Market Issues
The Belgian economy was affected due to the global economic slowdown. However, the economy recovered quickly. The foodservice industry remained insulated from the crisis. The growth in GDP has been a major driver in the growth of the Belgian foodservice industry, and the trend is expected to support the industry going forward.
Due to the rise in inflation, consumers have started purchasing products based on quality and price. However, inflation did not affect consumer spending on foodservices, which is expected to rise even further in the future.

Demographic changes in the country are expected to increase the demand for nutritious and healthy food in the country. The country experienced a rise in the population aged 40-64 years during the review period, and the trend is expected to continue in the forecast period.

The average size of Belgian household has decreased since 2006 and is expected to decline further in the future. The share of single person households has also risen over the review period. The participation of women in the labor force has also been constantly increasing. These demographic developments have resulted in fast paced lifestyles and the increasing demand for away from home cooked food in the country.

One of the major health problems faced by the Belgian population is rising obesity levels. The obese ageing population is more susceptible to lifestyle-related disorders. These concerns are driving the Belgian population to buy healthy and organic food products.

Key Highlights
The rise in disposable incomes has encouraged consumers to demand more variety and innovations in food. This has led to the popularity of various international cuisines such as Chinese, Italian, and Indian, among the Belgian population.

Rising internet penetration has led to the development of various websites that provide the online bookings and reviews of restaurants. Diners can select restaurants on the basis of cuisine type, location, and price.

As a result of increased mobile penetration, various smartphone applications have been launched by restaurants for the convenience of users. Applications enable users to find the location of restaurants in Belgium. The search can be refined by adding various criteria such as Wi-Fi and disabled access.

Belgian restaurants are switching to new technologies, such as tablet menus, to reduce operating costs and increase customer experience and convenience.
