The ethnic UK takeaway market is far from immune to the effects of the cost of living crisis. Ethnic foodservice sales have become more hard-earned than before, as operators are challenged to offer competitive deals and promotions whilst battling rising costs. However, demand for eating-out experiences continues to evolve whilst the UK takeaway market is performing resiliently and well above pre-pandemic levels.
Chinese and Indian cuisines are becoming slightly less popular and continue to face challenges from emerging cuisines. Throughout the full report, Mintel’s emphasizes the need for Chinese and Indian cuisine operators to make significant efforts to modernise their cuisines if they want to maintain their popularity.
As the lines between leisure and foodservice categories increasingly blurred, Mintel’s analysis highlights the potential for greater collaboration that will enable restaurant and takeaway operators to deliver a far more fun and exciting going-out experience than ever before. For example, more ethnic foodservice operators may branch out into leisure venue catering through offering white label foodservices.
