City Growth Engines in Foodservice Thematic Overview

Consumer attitudes and habits are affected by lifestyles in the city, requiring societies to adapt to new demographics and behaviors. Young generations’ digital nativism, diversity, and multiculturalism also affect societal change. Additionally, urban societies have been significantly affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, forcing changes in urban consumer behavior. Additionally, other issues such as digitalization creating ‘smart cities’ and inner-city gentrification, climate change, and social unrest affecting urban dynamics.

In the current scenario, the foodservice industry must adapt to an environment where historical comfort zones of operation are being replaced with more digitally driven, convenient, and geographically decentralized demand (e.g online home delivery ordering and remote working diminishing the relative importance of city center locations versus suburban ones).

The City Growth Engines in Foodservice thematic intelligence report assesses how big data analytics and AI, combined with other emerging technologies, can be used across the foodservice value chain. It provides an overview of the current landscape, as well as key players, while also highlighting opportunities for the use of the digital ecosystem in the future. The report provides an industry-specific analysis based on GlobalData databases and surveys.

City Growth Engines in Foodservice – Industry Analysis

Cities’ roles as growth engines in society have been reinforced by the digitalization that has started to transform them into smart cities. This transformation has embedded the technologies that shape consumers’ digital lifestyles into the urban environment. However, the pandemic disrupted the natural rhythm of cities, creating a need to reboot them for the ‘new normal’. Hence, work, education, and socializing were forced online, changing transportation and energy consumption habits. Business disruption was widespread and concentrated in the urban setting where daily life was hampered for months. Cities that learnt from the pandemic will become more resilient, and those that do not will remain vulnerable. This applies for businesses too. For foodservice, decentralization post-COVID is inevitable, with chains needing to track the potential rise of suburbs and potential weakening of city centers’ gravitational pull, and service a more geographically distributed consumer base.

City Growth Engines in Foodservice - Value Chain Analysis

The city growth engines value chain consists of consumer drivers and brand & product attributes. It also includes other themes such as target launches, reactive innovation, and lifestyle and cultural influences among others.

Consumer Drivers: Currently, there is a growing interest in locally produced products to reconnect and support local communities. Within foodservice, this has translated to further appeal for businesses that openly source ingredients and produce locally. This is a positive selling point concerning support for local economies, but also in terms of shortening supply chains. Furthermore, large cities can foster technology and knowledge hubs by attracting the best talents and offering the best salaries. While urban areas continue to afford new opportunities to employees and businesses, they are increasingly split between wealthy, high-skill knowledge workers and low-paid service workers. New ways of urban planning aim to improve the opportunities and livelihoods available to those living in cities.

“COVID-19 has caused significant interference to our business and the COVID-19 intelligence from GlobalData has helped us reach better decisions around strategy. These two highlights have helped enormously to understand the projections into the future concerning our business units, we also utilise the project database to source new projects for Liebherr-Werk to use as an additional source to pitch for new business.”

Market Analyst & Management, Liebherr-Werk

Your daily news has saved me a lot of time and keeps me up-to-date with what is happening in the market, I like that you almost always have a link to the source origin. We also use your market data in our Strategic Business Process to support our business decisions. By having everything in one place on the Intelligence Center it has saved me a lot of time versus looking on different sources, the alert function also helps with this.

Head of Key Accounts, Saab AB

Having used several other market research companies, I find that GlobalData manages to provide that ‘difficult-to-get’ market data that others can’t, as well as very diverse and complete consumer surveys.

Marketing Intelligence Manager, Portugal Foods

Our experience with GlobalData has been very good, from the platform itself to the people. I find that the analysts and the account team have a high level of customer focus and responsiveness and therefore I can always rely on. The platform is more holistic than other providers. It is convenient and almost like a one stop shop. The pricing suite is highly competitive and value for our organisation.

I like reports that inform new segments such as the analysis on generation Z, millennials, the impact of COVID 19 to our banking customers and their new channel habits. Secondly the specialist insight on affluent sector significantly increases our understanding about this group of customers. The combination of those give us depth and breadth of the evolving market.

I’m in the business of answering and helping people make decisions so with the intelligence center I can do that, effectively and efficiently. I can share quickly key insights that answer and satisfy our country stakeholders by giving them many quality studies and primary research about competitive landscape beyond the outlook of our bank. It helps me be seen as an advisory partner and that makes a big difference. A big benefit of our subscription is that no one holds the whole data and because it allows so many people, so many different parts of our organisation have access, it enables all teams to have the same level of knowledge and decision support.

Head of Customer Insight and Research, Standard Chartered

“I know that I can always rely on Globaldata’s work when I’m searching for the right consumer and market insights. I use Globaldata insights to understand the changing market & consumer landscape and help create better taste & wellbeing solutions for our customers in food, beverage and healthcare industries.

Globaldata has the right data and the reports are of very high quality compared to your competitors. Globaldata not only has overall market sizes & consumer insights on food & beverages but also provides insights at the ingredient & flavour level. That is key for B2B companies like Givaudan. This way we understand our customers’ business and also gain insight to our unique industry”

Head of Consumer Sensory Insights, Givaudan

GlobalData provides a great range of information and reports on various sectors that is highly relevant, timely, easy to access and utilise.  The reports and data dashboards help engagement with clients; they provide valuable industry and market insights that can enrich client conversations and can help in the shaping of value propositions. Moreover, using GlobalData products has helped increase my knowledge of the finance sector, the players within it, and the general threats and opportunities.

I find the consumer surveys that are carried out to be extremely beneficial and not something I have seen anywhere else. They provided an insightful view of why and which consumers take (or don’t) particular financial products. This can help shape conversations with clients to ensure they make the right strategic decisions for their business.

One of the challenges I have found is that data in the payments space is often piecemeal. With GD all of the data I need is in one place, but it also comes with additional market reports that provide useful extra context and information. Having the ability to set-up alerts on relevant movements in the industry, be it competitors or customers, and have them emailed directly to me, ensures I get early sight of industry activity and don’t have to search for news.
