Consumer foodservice

Despite persisting inflationary pressures, consumer foodservice in the Philippines recorded healthy growth in terms of current value and number of transactions in 2023, with the strong recovery of the economy being one of the main contributors to this trend. Sales were further boosted by the greater mobility of Filipino consumers, including the return of in-person working and the revival of international travel (Euromonitor 2024).

Full-service restaurants

Full-service restaurants sustained positive growth in current value terms in 2023, albeit at a slower rate than the previous year. This was partially due to the normalisation of consumer behaviour, following the eat-in boom experienced in the aftermath of the pandemic. However, with full-service restaurants in the Philippines catering primarily to middle and upper class households, these consumers had more capacity to absorb these price increases than lower-income groups (Euromonitor 2024)

Compared with pre-pandemic year 2019, US$879.9 million, consumer spending on the chained full-service restaurants declined to US$487.3 million in 2020, US$543.4 million in 2021 and US$709.0 million in 2022 respectively, rebounded to US$819.9 million in 2023, but not yet reached 2019 level. Independent full-service restaurants declined to US$761.7 million in 2020, US$895.3 million in 2021, US$1,115.9 million in 2022 and US$1,245.4 million in 2023 respectively from US$1,888.5 million in 2019. Same situation falls on Asian full-service restaurants (chained and independent), European full-service restaurants (chained and independent), North American full-service restaurants (chained and independent) and Other Full-Service Restaurants (chained and independent).

Pizza Full-Service Restaurants compared with 2019 level, all declined in 2020, 2021 and 2022 respectively, but rebound and surpassed 2019 level (US$310.4 million) to US$322.7 million. Same situation fell on pizza chained full-service restaurants but not on independent full-service restaurant.

Limited-service restaurants

During 2023, limited service restaurant players implemented various strategies in an attempt to offset the impact of inflation on consumer spending. One such initiative was the introduction of more value-for-money menu options, as exemplified by Jollibee's Mix & Match menu, whereby customers were able to choose a main and a side dish from a range of combinations, at a cheaper price than buying both items individually (Euromonitor 2024).

Health and wellness concerns are likely to have an impact on the market for limited-service restaurants over the forecast period. With obesity considered as a growing problem in the Philippines, the government has proposed plans to impose a higher rate of tax on junk food and sweetened beverages, in order to address this issue. With many products sold by limited-service restaurants, such as burgers, fries, fried chicken, hot dogs and donuts, considered as junk food, players may place a greater emphasis on more healthy and nutritious menu options, moving forward (Euromonitor 2024).

Consumer spending on the limited-service restaurants continued to increase from 2019 to 2023, at a CAGR of 3.1%, reaching US$7,043.7 million in 2023, surpassing 2019 level. Same is true with the chained limited-service restaurants at a CAGR of 3.4%, reaching US$6,921.7 million in 2023 surpassing 2019 level. However independent limited-service restaurants declined to CAGR of −7.8%, still lower than 2019 level from 2019 to 2023.

Chained chicken limited-service restaurants recorded the biggest growth at a CAGR of 5.6% from 2019 to 2023, reaching US$3,447.3 million in 2023, followed by chained Convenience stores limited-service restaurants at a CAGR of 4.2%, reaching US$395.8 million.

Cafés and bars

During 2023, cafés/bars recorded solid growth in terms of both current value and volume of transactions. This was driven to a large extent by an increase in consumer mobility, with locals being keen to make up for the time lost during the pandemic. An increase in inbound tourist numbers also added impetus to the category, with the Singapore Tourism Board bringing SingaPob, a pub crawl featuring a lineup of Singapore bars, to the Poblacion district of Metro Manila (Euromonitor 2024).

Sales of café/bars plummeted in 2020 at US$939.4 million, 2021 at US$1,083.8 million, 2022 at US$1,382.2 million and 2023 at US$1,586.1 million compared with US$2,258.2 million in 2019. The CAGR growth for cafés/bars was −8.5% between 2019 and 2023, in which chained cafes/bars was 0.1% and independent cafes/bars was −10.9%.

Street stalls/kiosks

Street stalls/kiosks continued to experience buoyant growth in current value terms in 2023. Sales were boosted by an increase in foot traffic in shopping malls, where a high number of chained outlets are located. Standalone stalls also benefited from an increase in consumer mobility, due to their convenient locations close to offices, transport hubs and schools. Street stalls/kiosk players have also established a presence in home delivery and drive-through, in order to open up new market segments, such as consumers who demand greater convenience to fit in with their busy lifestyles (Euromonitor 2024).

While street stalls/kiosks are notorious for offering a very wide variety of food and beverage options. milk tea outlets continued as permanent fixtures in Filipino shopping malls and other channels in 2023, such as Chatime, RoalTea, Tealive etc (Euromonitor 2024).

The channel remained highly fragmented being dominated by independent street stalls/kiosks, which decreased to US$1,254.5 million in 2023 compared with US$1,432.1 million in 2019. Chained street stalls/kiosks represented US$517.3 million in 2023 increased from US$461.3 million in 2019.
