Brazil – The Future of Foodservice to 2021

Summary

Brazil has been submerged in a deep and prolonged recession, with real GDP continuing to fall through Q1 of 2017. Falling GDP has led to record high government deficits, putting strain on public finances, causing problems ranging from prison rioting to police strikes and rising violence. Similarly, the currency has seen sizeable depreciation, contributing to food inflation which has put further pressure on consumers.

Profit sector is forecast to grow at a CAGR of 5.1%, taking the market to a value of BRL 545 Billion by 2021, following growth at a CAGR of 4.7% between 2014 and 2016. However, in dollar terms, 2014 to 2016 saw value fall at a CAGR of -14.0%, with growth expected to rise to a CAGR of 3.6% until 2021, representing real growth.

QSR is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.2% until 2021, growing from BRL 112.8 Billion in 2016 to BRL 152.5 Billion in 2021. Growth will rely heavily on rising transactions, with the urban/rural divide and relatively high level of urbanization reducing the opportunities for operators looking to expand their network of outlets. Dine-in occasions dominate sales, with BRL 85.7 Billion in sales compared to the BRL 20.6 Billion in take-away sales.

FSR had a value of BRL 107.0 Billion in 2016, up from BRL 96.8 Billion in 2014, representing a CAGR of 5.1%. However, in USD$ the market fell from USD$ 41.2 billon to USD$ 30.7 Billion, a negative CAGR of -13.6%. Growth will come mostly from transactions, with the resurgent middle class hungry for new experiences and looking for new foods to try. However, despite the forecast recovery in the economy, FSR will continue to grow slower than coffee & tea shops and QSR.

Coffee & tea shops are expected to see growth at a CAGR of 5.4% until 2021, creating a channel value that year of BRL 53.3 Billion. While the food and drink on offer is expected to hold mostly steady, healthy indulgence is expected to continue growing as a trend in the channel, helping to attract the younger, experimental segments and creating a point of differentiation from other limited-service channels.

Overall, the channel is set to grow at a CAGR of 4.0% until 2021. It is expected that rising disposable income and stability in the economy will help drive an increase in premium alcohol sales. It is also expected that the number of gastropubs will increase, improving the food offering in the channel.

Scope

– QSR benefitted from increased traffic during the recession, with consumers looking for cheap eats. Interestingly, American casual dining franchises also fared well between 2014 and 2016, as the wealthier consumers that these brands typically target remained largely unaffected by the recession.
– Some QSR operators are beginning to position themselves as more upmarket, with price points, quality and atmosphere at a standard halfway between QSR and FSR. The channel is therefore expected to become more flexible, offering more varied experiences and appealing to a wider consumer demographic.
– Value in pubs, clubs and bars is forecast to rise at a CAGR of 4.0% until 2021. Rising disposable incomes and a more stable economy will help drive an increase in premium alcohol sales. The number of gastropubs in the country is also likely to increase, improving the food offering in the channel.
