India’s Catering Services Market is expanding as a result of growing demand from the establishment of a large number of Educational Institutes, IT Parks and Hospitals: Ken Research
The demand from the public sector in the country and increasing demand for locally produced fresh farm produce, including fruits, vegetables, and meat items, are some of the major factors that are contributing to the increase in the share of the Catering Services Market in India.
Consumer preference for fresher and healthier food: Between 2017 and 2022, the catering market in India grew dramatically owing to the rising consumer preference for fresher and healthier. Hotels, event management organizations, and private people are the main end customers of catering services in India. The market also provides possibilities for food catering such as mobile catering, airline catering, and show catering. Furthermore, through their in-house kitchen staff or a third-party provider, universities, institutions, and corporate offices also readily accept these services.
Alliances to Expand Operations: Food catering companies are forming alliances to serve food to schools, colleges, and universities. They are also involved in the development of mobile apps that provide tailored food options to meet the needs of each individual. For instance, in March 2021, Sodexo, the foodservice and facilities management company, announced a partnership with HelloFresh, the meal kit leader, to deliver HelloFresh and EveryPlate meal kits to students at more than 300 colleges and universities in the United States. Students can pre-select, order, and schedule meal kits for delivery using Sodexo’s BiteU app. Whether students are vegetarian, on a low-calorie diet, or looking for something quick and easy, HelloFresh allows them to choose from a varied and changing weekly menu. EveryPlate is a rotating menu of simple and affordable chef-curated recipes, including vegetarian and gourmet options.
License for catering business: In order to continue with operations linked to any stage of manufacture, storage, packing, processing, catering services, import, including catering services, food services, sale of food, as well as the sale of food ingredients, one must get the FSSAI license. Additionally, a health trade license was created in order to give the public’s health the utmost priority. The State Municipal Corporation or the State Health Department is the local civil body that provides this license. Moreover, all types of catering companies must have a Food Establishment License, which they may only receive after passing the inspection procedure required by state compliance.
Sharp decline during the pandemic: During the COVID-19 pandemic, India’s Catering Service market saw a sharp decline in revenues. The major reason for the decline was the strict lockdowns enforced by the government to restrict consumers to their households. According to the National Restaurant Association of India (NRAI), 25% of catering businesses closed shop completely in FY21, resulting in over 2.3 million jobs lost. Although normalcy has kicked in amid the steady vaccination campaign, it may take time for the catering industry to recover fully.
