Summary and extracts
1 Market summary
1.1 Definition and Introduction
The pizza stems from the Italian cuisine, and the modern pizza was invented in Naples. Pizza is made from bread dough and is topped with a range of ingredients (for example tomato sauce, cheese, olives, olive oil) whereby it is baked in an oven. Today, pizza is made and consumed all over the world.
Pizza’s main distribution channels include:
- Commercial catering (restaurants, fast-food restaurant chains, sometimes as franchise).
- Hypermarkets and Supermarkets
- Limited- and full-service restaurants
The pizza market in Germany is growing for all product segments. Although Domino's account for the largest market share in terms of sales, there is a strong preference to domestic brands such as Vapiano and L'Osteria.
Increasingly, pizza delivery is becoming integral in German consumer's food habits, albeit at a modest rate in relation to the rest of the Western World. This is facilitated by a strong market for FoodTech startups with the likes of HelloFresh and Delivery Hero. Moreover, frozen pizza is expected to demonstrate the strongest growth of the pizza segments.
Finally, this study aims to analyze the entire scope of pizza and the means by which it can be consumed (fresh, chilled, and frozen).
