Market Growth Factors

Health and wellness trend greatly within the German food service sector because health-conscious German diners seek food composition to be transparent and want greater access to healthy food options. As society battles diet, a more globalized concept about health, diet, and nutrition has helped this trend. Feedr is a leading German office food delivery service, providing healthy and sustainable solutions for many diets, and it can cause more productivity and team building. Alongside all of this, restaurants are reformulating menus to include low-calorie, plant-based and health-promoting options and changing their marketing strategies to help shape the dining culture.

Plant-based and sustainable diets grow in popularity because consumers know more of environmental issues and of the health benefits vegetarian and vegan diets give. Restaurants and cafés then make plant-based options on their menus more available. As part of its "Plant-based for Everyone" campaign, fast food chain Burger King Germany reduced the price of plant-based items within 2024 to 10 cents lower than their meat counterparts. The flower burger promotion trends as it finds new and compelling ways to excite consumers about plant-based burgers that utilize local and organic ingredients marketed to people concerned about sustainability.

Growth factors for the market include increasing customer spending on restaurant food, demand for ethnic food, increase in the number of restaurants and fast food chains, and demand for convenience food. The increasing use of Food Delivery services is driving the market. The Global Food Delivery Market is forecasted to grow at a CAGR of 10.18% and is expected to reach a market size of USD 331.6 Billion by 2033.
