According to Restaurants Canada\u2019s latest forecast, foodservice sales are forecast to grow by 4.4% in 2025 compared to 2024.\u00a0 On the surface, this represents a \u2018typical\u2019 year of foodservice sales growth. Once adjusted for menu inflation of 3.0% and population growth of 1.5%, however, real per capita spending will essentially be unchanged from 2024.\u00a0 In 2024, real per capita sales slipped 2.0% due to households cutting back on discretionary spending.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Total commercial sales, which include spending at quick-service restaurants, full-service restaurants, caterers and drinking places, are forecast to surpass $100 billion in 2025.  When non-commercial foodservice sales (accommodation, institutional retail and other) are included, total foodservice sales are projected to increase to $124 billion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The outlook is based on the latest forecasts from the Conference Board of Canada, which calls for the Canadian economy to grow by 2.1% in 2025 following a 1.0% projected increase in 2024. Retail spending is also forecast to improve in 2025, following two years of sub-par gains.\u00a0 However, a weak labour market will restrain disposable income growth and dampen consumer confidence.\u00a0 As a result, foodservice sales are forecast to see flat sales once adjusted for inflation and population growth.
