Sigep-The Dolce World Expo, which runs at the Rimini Fair until Wednesday 16th.
Felicia Kee, Director of Food Services in China for Npd Group, presented,
Provided by Matteo Figoura, Director of Foodservice Italy, an overview of how
the industry outside the home in China also behaves in comparison with other
major Apac countries (Korea, Japan and Australia in particular), on the eve of
the presentation of the agreement with Koelnmesse with which Siegep is
preparing to land in Dragon Country. The overseas market has been one of the
hardest hit over the past two years, but China is quickly returning to
pre-pandemic levels today. However, the patterns of consumers have changed, who
today prefer breakfast more, lunch low and dinner hard with the addition of an
afternoon snack. As in the rest of the world, the delivery market has also
grown exponentially in China, which restaurant owners have joined by adding
takeaway meals as well. Felicia Key emphasized that the food service market in
China has recovered, with the characteristic, however, that consumers are more
conservative, more cautious in spending and seek safety and familiarity with
their relationship with restaurants in particular. In promoting services,
restaurants are taking advantage of new communication channels, in particular
TikTok.
