Restaurants Canada Updates Restaurant Sales Forecast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Restaurants Canada has updated its quarterly forecast of foodservice sales for the remainder of 2024 and into 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the distorting impacts of above-average population growth and high menu inflation are resulting in stronger nominal growth than would be expected, the best way to view the forecast is to remove<\/em> population growth and infla\u00adtion and view the underlying trend on a per capita basis. The assumptions for both are listed below. Note that if actual population and menu inflation are higher or lower than forecast, they will have a direct impact on nominal foodservice sales growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Overall, the impact of slow economic growth and higher cost of living are forecast to reduce per capita restaurant sales to $2,390 in 2024 from $2,420 in 2023. While the economy is expected to improve in 2025, high household debt will lead to only a modest increase in real per capita sales to $2,400.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At 178%, Canada has the highest debt-to-in\u00adcome ratio of the G7 countries. By com\u00adparison, the average debt-to-income ratio is 126% in France and 110% in the United States. If British Columbia and Ontario were countries, they would have among the highest debt-to-income ratios of the OECD nations. As a result, it will take time for consum\u00ader spending to recover, which will lead to a modest recovery in real restaurant sales in the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
