South Africa Fast Food Market Outlook-2026

The South Africa fast food market size was valued at $2.7 billion in 2018 and is expected to reach $4.9 billion by 2026, registering a CAGR of 7.9% from 2019 to 2026. South Africa is the largest foodservice market in the sub-Saharan Africa with a large and highly competitive hospitality industry. Despite negative impacts on several economic parameters of the country, the food service industry is expected to experience considerable growth during the forecast period. Similarly, the country has a large number of domestic as well as international restaurant chains; thereby, fueling the growth of the fast food segment. This is attributed to increase in demand for different types of fast food products from the target customers. According to Southern Africa Food Lab, over the past five years, there has been an increase in consumption of convenience food due to rise in availability of take-away vendors. As per their prediction, fast food items such as hamburgers, koftas, fried chips, and vetkoek, are expected to gain immense popularity and are anticipated to be consumed on a regular basis as part of the daily diet. Moreover, easy availability of fast food products is anticipated to influence the cooking practices, that is, decrease the frequency of home cooking; thereby, increasing the dependency on fast food products.
