The German catering market is highly concentrated with two main companies in the industry Kompass Group and Aramark . Other local players on a smaller scale have developed in certain sectors, such as Klüh Catering for hospitals, or Sodexo for schools.
In an industry that is constantly changing and characterized by different consumer trends, we see a growing interest in "healthy" eating habits , as well as the development of other forms of out-of-home catering (meal delivery). In the face of these changes, the food service industry in Germany is struggling to develop, and the turnover of companies in the sector has increased only slightly since 2005 (0.8% annually) .
