Executive Summary
Community food services represent a collective initiative within a community aimed at preparing and providing food to those in need, particularly the impoverished and hungry, with the goal of enhancing the social welfare of the community. This collaborative effort not only addresses food insecurity but also promotes relaxation, interaction, and conversation among community members, as sharing a meal provides a common topic for discussion.
The main types of products and services within the domain of community food services include soup kitchens and on-site meal provision, food pantry services, food collection and distribution services, as well as various other support services. A food pantry serves as a distribution center that supplies food to families in need. Different types of food service systems are employed, including conventional food service systems, centralized food service systems, ready-prepared food service systems, and assembly-serve food service systems. These systems find application in both commercial and non-commercial sectors.
The community food services market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides community food services market statistics, including community food services industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a community food services market share, detailed community food services market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the community food services industry. This community food services market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The community food services market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $372.56 billion in 2023 to $394.27 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth observed during the historical period can be attributed to factors such as the prevalence of food insecurity, support from donors and organizations focused on hunger relief initiatives, as well as government assistance in addressing food-related issues.
The community food services market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $489.95 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.6%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to several factors, including economic disparities that drive the need for community food services, a focus on nutrition and health education, increased digital engagement and donor platforms, and the adoption of mobile food services to reach those in need. Key trends expected in the forecast period encompass gleaning and food recovery initiatives, the promotion of community gardens and urban agriculture, a focus on nutrition for youth and adolescents, sustainable sourcing of food, and the use of technology to enhance food access and distribution.
The increasing prevalence of crowdfunding is poised to drive demand for the community food services market. Crowdfunding involves raising capital from individual investors, customers, and the general public through crowdfunding and social media platforms. For example, JustGiving, a UK-based online fundraising platform, successfully raised approximately $7,705.8 to provide emergency food for vulnerable, elderly, and low-income individuals during the COVID-19 crisis. This surge in crowdfunding has resulted in greater support for food aid and social services within the industry, enabling organizations to meet the rising demand for food services. Consequently, the growth of crowdfunding is expected to serve as a significant catalyst for the expansion of the community food services market.
The increasing emphasis on consuming nutritious foods is anticipated to propel the growth of the community food service market. Nutritious foods refer to food items that provide essential nutrients, such as vitamins, required for the proper functioning of the human body. Community food services play a pivotal role in delivering nutritious foods by offering well-balanced and health-promoting meals that cater to the nutritional needs of the community, thereby promoting better health and overall well-being. As an illustration, a 2022 survey report by the US-based nonprofit organization, the International Food Information Council, revealed that 52% of Americans reported following a specific diet or eating pattern, marking a significant increase from the previous year. Additionally, according to reports published by Food Insight, another US-based nonprofit organization, in July 2022, 52% of participants in a food and health survey adopted specific diets or eating patterns, up from 39% in 2021. Prominent choices included clean eating (16%), mindful eating (14%), and calorie counting (13%). Hence, the evolving consumer preferences towards health-conscious lifestyles are driving the growth of the community food services market.
The escalation in the prices of consumer goods, particularly food products, is constraining the growth of the community food services market. In 2022, the US Department of Agriculture reported a 9.9% increase in food prices, with food-at-home prices surging by 11.4% and food-away-from-home prices rising by 7.7%. This surge in food costs is expected to curtail market expansion during the forecast period.
An emerging trend in the community food services market is the introduction of various programs designed to address the nutritional needs of communities. For instance, the Summer Food Service Program, operating during the summer months when schools are not in session, provides free meals to children. This program also incorporates a permanent, non-congregate meal service option for eligible rural communities, reducing food insecurity among children and ensuring access to nutritious meals during the summer months.
Major companies operating in the community food services market are prioritizing the launch of food programs, such as Feds Feed Families 2023, aimed at contributing food and support for various purposes. 'Feds Feed Families' is an annual federal government-wide food drive in the United States, typically conducted during the summer months. In June 2023, the US-based government organization, the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), introduced the Feds Feed Families 2023 program, encouraging federal employees to make in-kind contributions, including food, services, and time, to food banks and pantries of their choice. This initiative was launched to assist food banks in meeting the increased demand for food during the summer break when donations tend to decrease, and families with children lack access to school meal programs.
In 2022, Grubhub collaborated with over 34 nonprofit organizations to drive meaningful change in communities throughout the country. Grubhub expanded its efforts to support the direct distribution of ready-to-eat meals and groceries to individuals and families in need. As a result, the program delivered over 545,000 meals, 2.8 million pounds of food, and expanded the geographic reach of food recovery initiatives supported by Grubhub.
