The rising popularity of food delivery platforms like Mr.D and Uber Eats is boosting the market growth
- Quick service restaurants hold a significant share of the market. During the study period, the quick service restaurants segment is expected to register a CAGR of 7.61% by value. The growth of food delivery services such as Mr. D Food and Uber Eats in South Africa has made it easier for QSRs to reach customers who cannot visit their physical outlets. Mr. D Food controls 30% of the South African food delivery industry, while Uber Eats holds a 25% share. This has increased the ability of QSRs to expand their delivery capabilities and reach more customers.

- FSR holds the second-largest share of the market. In the FSR segment, the Asian cuisine sub-segment is expanding and is projected to register a CAGR of 13.58% by value in the forecast period. South Africa is a diverse country with a multicultural population. This exposure has increased appreciation and demand for Asian flavors and dishes. There has been an increase in migration to South Africa from Asian countries, such as China and India. Indian South Africans comprise around 2.5% of the South African population in 2023, amounting to approximately 1.6 million people. This migration has led to the opening of more Asian restaurants in South Africa.
- Cloud kitchens are projected to register a CAGR of 18.76% by value in the forecast period.

South Africa Foodservice Market Trends
Quick service restaurants remain popular in South Africa, with international and local chains dominating the market, led by Mcdonald's, KFC, Burger King, Chicken Licken, and Chesa Nyama
- Quick-service restaurants held a significant share of the market in terms of the number of outlets, amounting to 79.20%, in 2022. Quick-service chains that offer burgers, pizza, fried chicken, and sandwiches are very popular in South Africa, including McDonald's, KFC, and Burger King, which have over 300, 1,000, and 97 outlets, respectively. In addition to international chains, there are many popular local fast food brands in South Africa, such as Chesa Nyama and Chicken Licken, which is known for its crispy fried chicken and garlic sauce. Cafes and bar outlets are the fastest-growing in the market in terms of the number of outlets, projected to register a growth of 2.60% in the forecast period. However, the demand for freshly brewed coffee is on the rise.
- The country records around a 2.3% average annual growth rate in coffee consumption. Brands with strong identities are most likely to thrive and grow. This is evidenced by the development of coffee chains that have grown from a single store into a franchise and further into a global brand spreading from Cape Town to deep into Africa. Many cafes in South Africa are also catering to the increasing demand for healthy food options by offering vegan and vegetarian options on their menus. Cloud kitchen is the second fastest-growing segment in the market in terms of the number of outlets. The segment is projected to register a CAGR of 9.04% in the forecast period. The growth of cloud kitchens in South Africa is in line with the increasing popularity of food delivery services such as Uber Eats, Mr. D Food, and OrderIn. These services have led to an increase in demand for food delivery-only operations. Many cloud kitchens have emerged in South Africa in recent years, especially in cities like Johannesburg and Cape Town.
