Beginning in 2020 and continuing through 2022, the coronavirus pandemic has had a significant effect on consumer food purchases. Packaged Facts found in its February 2022 survey that 53% of consumers still report eating indoors at a restaurant less often compared to pre-COVID habits. Instead, many consumers have reported continued increased use of food carryout and delivery compared to pre-pandemic behavior.
Food carryout and delivery have been convenient during the pandemic, and these options have helped consumers feel safer if they did not feel comfortable dining in due the coronavirus. In many areas, restaurant dining rooms were closed temporarily, leading to carryout and delivery being the only available restaurant options.
With a focus on “what’s next” and current consumer trends, Food Carryout and Delivery in the U.S. is packed with insights about consumer trends, behavior, and motivations to help foodservice operators, food producers, retailers, packaging companies, employers, and investors gauge consumer perspectives and find areas for growth in a competitive market.
Food Carryout and Delivery in the U.S. delivers actionable predictions and recommendations designed to guide foodservice operators, producers, retailers, and investors in making business decisions by providing data and insights about consumer behavior and what consumers think about foods and beverages and delivery and carryout.
