Brazil Catering Services Market Growth
In 2019, Brazil's food retail sector earned net revenues worth USD 96 billion, while achieving a growth rate of 6.7%. Brazil's food retail sector is the world's fifth largest and annually contributes 10.5% to the nation's economic GDP. In 2020, nearly 75% of the domestic production was consumed within the nation's geographical boundaries, whereas 25% of it was exported. The sales volume of organic food products in Brazil grew by 30% in 2020. Brazil is the second largest exporter of food and beverage products globally. With the proliferation of corporates and rapid industrial growth in Brazil, this is expected to emerge as a significant market trend, thereby driving the market growth.
Online booking platforms have transformed the process of event management by providing a simple and efficient way of managing reservations and requests to event management firms. Such platforms have also streamlined the event planning process by enabling consumers to make secure online payments and make bookings remotely. The automation of booking processes has minimised the risks of human error and double bookings and contributed towards the effective management of time and resources by food caterers by enabling them to receive real-time notifications and updates about the event. By improving the overall client experience, these platforms have created a stress-free process for managing food service at major events, thereby leading to market growth.
Key Trends and Developments
Emergence of health and wellness trends; rapid digital transformation and online ordering; increased demand for personalised catering; and the growth of corporate and workplace catering are the major factors driving the Brazil catering services market growth.
November 2024
ProVeg International, a prominent food awareness organisation, welcomed the decision of the Brazilian government to provide sustainable and healthy food items at next year's UN climate summit (COP30) to be hosted in the city of Belem. The additional provision of plant-based foods for business leaders and government dignitaries has highlighted additional praise, thereby shaping the Brazil catering services market dynamics favourably.
April 2024
GPS Group, a Brazilian conglomerate acquired GR Servicos e Alimentacao (GRSA) and its subsidiaries from UK's Compass Group, which was formerly engaged in Brazil's local foodservice industry. This initiative is expected to enhance its existing market share and further shape the future of the market development.
July 2023
Sodexo's employee benefits brand, Pluxee, teamed up with Santander Brazil, a private bank, to offer meal and food benefits through 750,000 merchants. Through this partnership, Pluxee's services will be available exclusively through Santander's network, including its 'Ben' staff benefits programme, which already supports 600,000 employees, 3,000 clients, and 400,000 merchants. For the next 25 years, Pluxee will be the only provider of food-related benefits for Santander's employees and customers across Brazil, making it a long-term collaboration.
February 2021
LATAM Airlines awarded its domestic food catering business in Brazil to LSG Sky Chefs. This was aimed at expanding the latter's existing business with the aviation company in Sao Paulo (GRU) and Fortaleza (FOR) for 3 years more and opening up new opportunities for further collaboration in Rio de Janeiro.
Emergence of health and wellness trends
Brazilian consumers are opting for nutritious dining options, such as sushi, seasonal fruits, detox juices, and fresh salads to maintain their overall well-being. This has prompted food caterers to choose natural and locally available food ingredients over processed food items and GMOs to deliver a premium guest experience. This is one of the key Brazil catering services market trends.
Digital transformation and online ordering
Technology is revolutionising Brazil's catering industry, with businesses adopting online ordering, digital payment solutions, and AI-driven menu customisation. Mobile apps and cloud-based platforms streamline bookings, improve efficiency, and enhance customer experience. This trend is particularly strong in corporate catering, where companies seek seamless, tech-driven food solutions for employees and events.
Increased demand for personalised catering
Personalised menus tailored to dietary preferences, cultural requirements, and event themes are gaining popularity in Brazil. Caterers are offering diverse cuisine options, from traditional Brazilian dishes to international gourmet experiences. This trend is driven by consumer demand for unique dining experiences, catering to vegan, gluten-free, and allergen-friendly needs. This is expected to boost the Brazil catering services market revenue.
Growth of corporate and workplace catering
With businesses prioritising employee well-being, corporate catering in Brazil is expanding. Companies are offering meal plans, healthy snack options, and on-site catering services to boost productivity and workplace satisfaction. Partnerships with catering providers and digital meal platforms are growing, ensuring convenient and nutritious food solutions for employees across various industries.
Brazil Catering Services Market Trends
As per the International Air Transport Association (IATA), Brazil became the world's fourth-largest aviation industry in 2024 and accounted for nearly 1.2% of all domestic flights worldwide. In July 2023, the nation moved 44 million passengers domestically. This recovery rate has led to a year-on-year growth of 6.6% in Brazil's aviation industry, which has surpassed the levels of other developed countries like Japan, China, and the United States (5.6%). This is expected to increase the demand for in-flight catering services, thereby shaping the Brazil catering services market dynamics favourably. Based on industry analysis, the demand for plant-based and clean-label food products in-flight is expected to rise. Moreover, the demand for sustainable and disposable cutlery solutions is also expected to increase, thereby driving market growth.
