Fast Food and Organised Catering in Hong Kong

Key Facts

  • The economic downturn of 1997 and 1998 adversely affected most sectors of the Hong Kong economy as consumers encountered inflation, job insecurity and unemployment, often for the first time in a generation. However, many of these recessionary conditions have turned out to be to the benefit of the fast-food and organised restaurant chains with retail rents falling, consumers seeking value for money and cheaper establishments as opposed to independent restaurants. The fast-food chains are actually expanding.
  • Hong Kong had a total of 10,118 restaurants employing 193,498 staff in 2000. Annual growth occurring every year until 1998 in the region of 6% per annum.
  • However, in 1998 restaurant receipts declined significantly over the previous year by 4.1%. This was not unexpected given the poor performance of the Hong Kong economy in 1998 and the combined effects of the tourist slump, chicken flu in January 1998, the closure of a large number of independent establishments and price cutting amongst the major chain operators.
  • 1999 saw a slight recovery in consumer confidence, but not enough to bring about more positive growth over 1998, with the market declining in value by –0.3% in 1999.
