Overall revenue in the Italian profit foodservice sector rose at a CAGR of 2.0% between 2014 and 2016. Valued at over EUR 40 billion in 2016, coffee and tea shops represent the most valuable profit sector channel. The Italian foodservice market is highly fragmented in all channels, with the exception of QSR.
Consumers are largely traditional and value Italian food above all other options. Most also prefer local and independently-run outlets, and this is especially evident in the large and fragmented coffee and tea shop channel.
During Italy's recession, consumers became increasingly value-focused when visiting the foodservice market and the QSR channel benefited from this trend, at the expense of FSR. There has also been a shift in focus towards 'convenience dining', as consumers are forced to work longer hours. Key opportunities therefore exist for operators capable of combining a greater level of convenience and value with the Italian love of localism.

Report Scope: -A weak economy has driven consumers to become increasingly value focused when eating out-of-home, driving sector-leading growth in inexpensive and convenience-led channels (i.e. coffee and tea shops and QSR) during 2016-2021. -Coffee shops and traditional FSR are ingrained into Italian culture. Visit frequency is notably high in coffee shops, with visits firmly embedded into consumers' routines. However, some consumer groups are beginning to demand more options from the channel, especially with regard to food. Although FSR are seeing increased competition from an improving QSR channel, FSR operators should not be tempted to compete solely on price. -Localism rules in Italy. Although QSR operators have previously been regarded as an affront to Italian cuisine, many are introducing increasingly localized products to appeal to traditional consumers. However, most consumers still associate the channel primarily with convenience, rather than high quality food.
