MARKET SUMMARY

1.1 Presentation

The actors of the collective catering industry are the companies, institutions and companies responsible for all meals prepared outside the house .

The sector differs from the commercial catering sector by the payment of part of the cost of the meal by the employer the institution or any other form of collective organization that has provided a dedicated catering space. The services can then be subdivided into three sectors:

Restoration at work (administrations and companies)
Social and health restoration (hospitals, retirement homes, penitentiary institutions)
Catering associated with the education sector

Although still limited, the presence of organic food in collective catering is perceived as an important growth driver for organic products and an opportunity for companies to differentiate themselves. In addition, catering companies have to deal with health constraints and meet a demand that is always oriented towards more quality, for a low price

Companies are also looking to increase their presence in new services On-site services for Sodexo and motorway areas, for example. Some companies are developing the porting of meals on wheels for companies that do not have a structure, or for the elderly.
