Description

The global food service equipment market is valued at USD 39.1 billion in 2024 and is anticipated to grow with a CAGR of 7.4% over the forecast period 2025-2034. The increasing demand for energy-efficient and technologically advanced kitchen solutions, along with the expansion of the food service industry, is fueling market growth. The rising number of restaurants, cafes, hotels, cloud kitchens, and institutional food services is significantly driving the need for innovative, high-performance kitchen and refrigeration equipment. Additionally, sustainability trends, evolving consumer preferences, and government regulations concerning food safety and energy consumption are key factors shaping the market.

The industry is undergoing a technological transformation with the adoption of IoT-enabled and smart kitchen appliances that enhance operational efficiency, improve food quality, and optimize energy usage. Moreover, the rising labor shortages in food service establishments are driving the adoption of automated and multi-functional kitchen equipment, which minimizes human intervention while maintaining food quality and efficiency. The growing influence of food delivery services, quick-service restaurants (QSRs), and cloud kitchens is further creating demand for highly durable, energy-efficient, and high-speed cooking and refrigeration solutions.

The expansion of food service chains globally is a crucial growth driver for this market. The QSR segment is expected to exhibit the fastest CAGR of 27.2% , fueled by increased demand for ready-to-eat meals, fast food, and online food delivery services. Additionally, the institutional food service sector, including hospitals, schools, and corporate cafeterias, is adopting advanced food preparation and storage equipment to ensure high efficiency and regulatory compliance.

The Asia-Pacific region dominated the food service equipment market in 2024, accounting for the largest revenue share of 36.9% , primarily due to the westernization of dining habits, rapid urbanization, and growth in tourism-driven food services in China, India, Indonesia, and Australia. Meanwhile, North America and Europe continue to be lucrative markets, driven by technological innovation, stringent food safety norms, and high consumer spending on food services. Latin America and the Middle East & Africa are witnessing steady market expansion, owing to increased disposable incomes, changing lifestyles, and a growing inclination towards dining out.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
