Egypt – The Future of Foodservice to 2021
Summary
Egypt is the 32nd largest economy in the world, with a nominal GDP of over USD$ 330 Billion in 2016. The country has suffered from political and economic instability following the Arab Spring revolution in 2011. The unemployment rate rose sharply after the protests began, and has since been consistently over 12%, but despite this, GDP per capita has steadily increased over the last five years. Inflation oscillated around 10% after the 2008 global financial crash, but it has soared to over 30% due to a sudden devaluation of the Egyptian Pound in November 2016.
Egyptian foodservice profit sector generated a total revenue of over EGP 222 Billion (USD$ 21.9 Billion) in 2016. The QSR channel represents a 30.6% market share of the Egyptian foodservice sector. The channel’s sales value is forecast to accelerate at a CAGR of 1.3% during 2016-2021.
At a market valuation of just under EGP 78.5 Billion in 2016, the FSR channel is the largest foodservice channel by sales value. Between 2014 and 2016, the value of the FSR channel increased at a CAGR of 1.3%. In 2016, the pub, club and bar channel was the fourth-most valuable foodservice profit sector channel; it generated a revenue representing 6.1% of the total market sales value.

Scope
– The QSR channel is highly fragmented; just 4.6% of outlets are owned by chain operators, but they over-trade relative to this. Over the next five years, revenue growth of chain operators is forecast to be markedly stronger than that of independents. Surveys found a significant proportion of consumers actively seek QSR that they perceive to be inexpensive.
– The FSR channel is the most consolidated of all major channels, and chains over-trade relative to their share of the number of outlets. FSR will be the greatest beneficiary of the paradigm shift towards takeaway transactions. The advent of delivery service apps will mean that consumers no longer need to compromise between convenience and the quality of their meal.
– A trend towards greater health consciousness is growing worldwide, and surveys highlighted large portions of Egpytian consumers finding difficulty in eating healthily when out. This indicates there are growth opportunities to be found in offering healthy indulgent’ options, a foodservice trend which has achieved great success in mature foodservice markets such as the US and UK.
– Given the decline of tourism in the country, and that alcohol consumption among locals is less popular than in other countries, pubs, clubs and bars will need to diversify their appeal to remain as profitable.
