UK Food To Go Market Report 2021

The Lumina Intelligence Food to Go Market Report 2021 is the definitive report on the sector, covering food to go sold in both retail and foodservice. This forward-looking report includes market forecasts out to 2024. Our predictions for the recovery of the sector are put into context with views from business leaders as well as validation from external performance barometers.

Critical reading for operators and suppliers alike, we unpick the effect of the pandemic, greater home working and reduced travel and consider what the impact will be once the industry re-opens. We will also consider the increased role of technology and delivery services and what this means for the future of food to go, as well as the opportunity for ‘food to go home’.

The report includes consumer insight from Lumina Intelligence Eating and Drinking Out Panel. You’ll also receive three further updates of this information included in the price of the report.
