The Food Trucks industry has experienced a remarkable rise over the past five years, as consumers have increasingly favored unique, gourmet cuisine at budget-conscious prices. Despite strong performance, however, high competition and unfavorable regulatory conditions in some cities have limited the growth of industry vendors. Nevertheless, the industry has outperformed the broader food-service sector over the period in terms of revenue expansion. In the five years to 2020, favorable consumer trends will continue to underpin moderate revenue growth, but the industry will need to work with municipal governments to resolve the remaining legal challenges to food truck operations.
The industry comprises establishments primarily engaged in preparing and serving meals from a mobile truck. Food is normally prepared, stored and cooked on the truck. The truck may or may not use the same location each day and does not sell alcoholic beverages.
The report covers the scope, size, disposition and growth of the industry including the key sensitivities and success factors. Also included are five year industry forecast, growth rates and an analysis of the industry key players and their market shares.
