MARKET OVERVIEW
Market definition The fast food market is defined as the sale of food and drinks for immediate consumption either on the premises or in
designated eating areas shared with other foodservice operators, or for consumption elsewhere. Datamonitor's definition
excludes sales through vending machines and is restricted to sales in specific foodservice channels (please see channel
definitions below). All market values are given in Operator Buying Prices, that is the amount spent by foodservice
operators on the food and drink that they serve and not the amount the consumers spend on food and drinks (Operator
Selling Prices - OSPs) in these channels. The difference is the mark up the foodservice operator adds in order to cover
their other costs and generate a profit. This therefore values the market in terms of the amount of money for which food
and drinks manufacturers are competing. All currency conversions were performed using constant 2009 average annual
exchange rates. Market volumes are classed as the total number of visits by individuals to foodservice locations that
involve the consumption of either food. Multiple purchases made during the same visit are counted as one transaction.
The purchase of drink with food in the same location in the same visit is also considered as one transaction, not two. The
market is broken down in to four segments: Quick Service Restaurants (QSR), Takeaways, Mobile & Street Vendors and
Leisure Locations. QSR's are defined as: locations where the primary function is to provide full meals but where table
service is not offered. Takeaways are defined as: establishments that provide freshly prepared food for immediate
consumption and where typically 80% or more of revenues come from consumers who take the food off the premises to
consume. Mobile & street vendors are defined as: Either individual mobile stalls or vans that offer a limited range of
freshly prepared food as well as beverages. Leisure locations are defined as: locations serving food and drinks for
immediate consumption on premises within leisure outlets (such as Cinemas, Theatres, Racecourses etc.) that the
Leisure operator owns and operates itself.
For the purposes of this report, Asia-Pacific comprises Australia, China, India, Indonesia, Japan, New Zealand,
Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan, and Thailand.
Market analysis The Indian fast food market has experienced strong, consistent growth in recent years. Strong, though decelerating,
growth is predicted to continue to the end of the forecast period.
The Indian fast food market is expected to generate total revenue of $11.3 billion in 2011, representing a compound
annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.7% between 2007 and 2011. In comparison, the Chinese and Japanese markets will
grow with CAGRs of 15.5% and 1.3% respectively, over the same period, to reach respective values of $36.2 billion and
$32.5 billion in 2011.
Market consumption volumes are forecast to increase with a CAGR of 8.6% between 2007 and 2011, to reach a total of
58.8 billion transactions in 2011. The market's volume is expected to rise to 81 billion transactions by the end of 2016,
representing a CAGR of 6.6% for the 2011-2016 period.
The Street and Mobile Vendors segment is expected to be the market's most lucrative in 2011, with total revenues of
$6.1 billion, equivalent to 53.6% of the market's overall value. The Restaurants - QSR segment will contribute revenues
of $5.2 billion in 2011, equating to 46.2% of the market's aggregate value.
The performance of the market is forecast to decelerate, with an anticipated CAGR of 10.4% for the five-year period
2011 - 2016, which is expected to drive the market to a value of $18.6 billion by the end of 2016. Comparatively, the
Chinese and Japanese markets will grow with CAGRs of 12.7% and 4.7% respectively, over the same period, to reach
respective values of $65.7 billion and $41 billion in 2016.

FIVE FORCES ANALYSIS
The fast food market will be analyzed taking fast food operators as players. The key buyers will be taken as consumers,
and food ingredients providers and workforce providers as the key suppliers.
Summary
Figure 7: Forces driving competition in the fast food market in India, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
For the fast food market, the main source of buyer power is the lack of switching costs: within a given price range, a
consumer's choice of fast food provider is purely a matter of personal taste, and can vary from one day to the next.
It is vital to maintain reliable upstream networks offering food of marketable quality, and in a generally low margin – high
volume business, keeping food costs down is also important. Entry to the global fast food market does not require large
capital outlay; setting up a single, independent fast food outlet is within the means of many individuals. Substitutes for
fast food include other forms of profit foodservice, and also food retail (ready meals or ingredients for home cooking).
Many forms of fast food have attracted criticism for being unhealthy, while food retail offers consumers greater freedom
to control their diet. Particular segments of the fast food market can be concentrated - for example, the burger segment
is dominated by Burger King and McDonalds - the market as a whole is fairly fragmented, with many independents as
well as large chains, thus increasing rivalry.

Buyer power
Figure 8: Drivers of buyer power in the fast food market in India, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Economic malaise resulting from the financial crisis has consequently strengthened buyer power as industry players aim
to both attract and secure price sensitive consumers. However, the main source of buyer power is the lack of switching
costs: within a given price range, a consumer's choice of fast food provider is purely a matter of personal taste, and can
vary from one day to the next. There is also likely to be relatively high price elasticity of demand, because fast food is not
strictly essential to consumers. High transaction volumes, however, means that the impact of any one consumer on
revenues is usually small. Despite a downturn in consumer expenditure and signs of saturation, investment in the fast
food industry remains high, with new stores opening across the sector. Investment in brand building has driven customer
loyalty, while the sheer convenience of fast food makes it more important to the consumer than a simple source of food.
Buyer power is assessed to be moderate overall.

Supplier power
Figure 9: Drivers of supplier power in the fast food market in India, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
One key input for players in the fast food market is of course food. It is vital to maintain reliable upstream networks
offering food of marketable quality, and in a generally low margin – high volume business, keeping food costs down is
pivotal. Suppliers may also have customers in the cost foodservice sector, or other segments of the profit foodservice
sector. This decreases their dependence on fast food companies, strengthening supplier power. Many of the foodservice
suppliers are large companies, and the high number of businesses they serve means that they themselves are under
less pressure to keep their prices down, and therefore exert significant negotiating power, thus enhancing at the same
time supplier power. The fast food business is labor intensive, and wages form a significant proportion of operating costs:
around 25-30%. Thus, as a whole minimum wage legislation in China goes some way towards strengthening employees,
considered here as suppliers of labor. Overall, supplier power is assessed as moderate.

New entrants
Figure 10: Factors influencing the likelihood of new entrants in the fast food market in India, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Entry to the Indian fast food market does not require large capital outlay; setting up a single, independent fast food outlet
is within the means of many individuals in India. Larger companies can reduce the cost of expanding into India by
running some or all of their outlets as franchises. Franchisees run the majority of McDonald's outlets in India. They bear
the costs of equipping outlets at sites owned or leased by the franchiser, and pay a fee for the franchise itself, as well as
rents and service charges. (The franchisee enjoys something of the advantages of running their own business, while
benefiting from the franchiser's brand strength, expertise, and scale economies.) Negligible switching costs for
consumers mean that they are free to transfer their custom to a new player. However, market entrants face several other
barriers. Retaliation by existing players, such as the launch of a price war, is a possibility, especially where a new entrant
moves into a more concentrated segment. The brand strength of the major chains is considerable, which may negate
much of the effect of low switching costs. Overall, there is a strong likelihood of new entrants.

Threat of substitutes
Figure 11: Factors influencing the threat of substitutes in the fast food market in India, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
Substitutes for fast food include other forms of profit foodservice, and also food retail (ready meals or ingredients for
home cooking). The generic product of fast food is mainly considered as convenience. Convenience and availability are
the main drivers for choosing fast food coupled with a focus on value. As the market consists of many differentiated fast
food companies, customers have the option of choosing the best value products. Frozen re-heatable prepared food
offers strong competition against fast food. This substitute product is convenient and cheap and offers quality meals on a
scale which matches the fast food industry. Many forms of fast food have attracted criticism for being unhealthy, while
food retail offers consumers greater freedom to control their diet. For the calorie conscious consumer, the main
substitute is preparing a home cooked meal where the switching cost is the opportunity cost of time spent in the kitchen.
Overall, the threat of substitutes is assessed as moderate.

Degree of rivalry
Figure 12: Drivers of degree of rivalry in the fast food market in India, 2011
SOURCE: MARKETLINE M A R K E T L I N E
While particular segments of the fast food market can be concentrated - for example, the burger segment is dominated
by Burger King and McDonalds - the market as a whole is fairly fragmented, with many independents as well as large
chains. Rivalry is somewhat mitigated with the absence of high exit costs coupled with the ease with which capacity can
be increased; chains can increase the number of outlets (the prevalence of franchising is a factor here) whilst
independents can take on more staff or extend opening hours. As players of all sizes in this market are highly focused on
fast food, profitability relies on low margin-high turnover operations. Price competition is thus prevalent amongst industry
players, especially between value meals. In particular, the value meals range are a reaction to shifting consumer trends
and a larger focus on competition amongst industry players. This form of price dumping has become particularly
prevalent as a result of a fragile wider economic environment. Brand power, however, forms the greatest competition in
the fast food market, for example McDonalds spends hundreds of millions of dollars on global advertising. Overall, rivalry
is assessed as moderate.
