Spain – The Future of Foodservice to 2020
Summary
Spanish economy has experienced 12 consecutive quarters of GDP growth since 2013 as it continues to recover from both the 2008 global financial crisis and the on-going European debt crisis. Whilst this may suggest the country is doing well, the reality is more mixed. Unemployment in the country has been high, reaching a historic rate of 27% in 2013. As of 2015, unemployment remains the country’s biggest economic concern at around 22%, still above both the EU and Eurozone averages. Politically, the country has only just formed a minority Government which may create uncertainty over future spending.
Spain’s QSR channel has surged in recent years, experiencing the strongest levels of sales and outlet growth across the foodservice market. Consumers have been pushed’ rather than enticed’ to the channel, with high unemployment forcing consumers to abandon traditional spending habits and seek out the lowest priced food options.
The value of the FSR channel in Spain experienced a healthy CAGR of 3.0% from 2013-2015. This has been fuelled by both a growing average transaction price and an increased number of total transactions, driven by the continued recovery of the Spanish economy. Outlet growth has, however, remained negligible, with potential operators wary of investing in such a fragile economic climate.
Spain’s foodservice market, the channel is extremely fragmented, with independent operators making up around 93% of outlets. However, there is an expectation of increased consolidation in the future as large international chain operators venture out from tourist hotspots/travel links and into mainland Spain. Although, it remains to be seen whether native Spaniards will be willing to upgrade their traditional EUR1 espresso to a EUR4-5 Frappuccino.

Scope

– Low-income consumers are embracing home food delivery to limit unnecessary eating out expenses, fuelling a stay-at-home’ culture. With levels of technology penetration in Spain similar to that of the UK or the USA, key operators offering takeaway options, such as Telepizza, are beginning to take advantage of digitalization through mobile, tablet and smartwatch applications, adding an additional layer of convenience.
– Traditional pubs and bars are facing increased competition from coffee shops and “Gastrobars”, which resonate better to the desires of younger consumers.
