Catering Services in the UK - Industry Market Research Report

No catering: Inflationary pressures are expected to cause a fall in industry revenue in 2022-23

Weak household and business spending combined with the mass cancellations of events across the UK are taking a toll on industry revenue.

The growing health and sustainability awareness of British consumers is resulting in a growing number of industry players offering premium-priced organic and meat-free catering options, supporting the bottom line.
