SYNTHÈSE DU MARCHÉ

1.1 Introduction

Milan, known internationally as the capital of fashion and design, also emerges as a pulsating hub of Italian dining. This metropolis, through its vibrant culinary scene, reflects an innovation and passion that few other cities can boast. But beyond the hype and bright lights, what are the hard facts that underscore its pre-eminence in the culinary scene?

In the global context, 2022 saw the foodservice market reach an impressive 2,525 billion euros, marking a 14 percent growth over the previous year. In this rapidly changing scenario, Milan stands out with its 8,119 restaurants and mobile foodservice businesses, representing a remarkable 5.2 percent of the Italian landscape. These numbers, however, are only the tip of the iceberg of a much deeper and multifaceted story.

The year 2023 witnessed a Milan in gastronomic ferment. New openings, such as Tommaso Arrigoni's Innocenti Evasioni and Sadler's restaurant in Brera, have reinforced the city's reputation as a center of culinary excellence. At the same time, some closures have underscored the competitive and challenging nature of the industry, where innovation and excellence are essential to emerge.

In addition to market trends, it is essential to consider the audience. With a population of 1,354,196 in 2023, Milan is inhabited by a diverse demographic of discerning consumers. The income distribution in the city indicates a population with a fair amount of purchasing power, ready to invest in quality dining experiences.
