Top 10 Fast Food Countries
Fast Food restaurants are quite popular all over the world. Their quick munching options that will never let you forget the flavor, tastes, convenience and the inexpensiveness of their restaurant experience. They have been the best contenders in the food industry since the 20th century. They offer plenty of quick acquiring and delicious edible commodities to serve, such as hamburgers, donuts, coffee, and wraps. Thus far there are a number of restaurants famed for their high standards and products, and equally there are restaurants that are known for their low stands. Here are the top 10 countries with the most annual spending per capita when it comes to fast food.
10. Norway
Annual Spending/capita: $88
The new trend amongst fast food companies is to offer healthier food options to consumers. McDonald’s offers information about calories for every product it sells in Norway, which allows consumers to watch their weight and make informed decisions. McDonald’s also offers salads and fruit for adults, while Burger King offers salads, low-calorie drinks and healthier sandwiches, including the Whopper Lite.
9. Switzerland
Annual Spending/capita: $95.3
McDonald’s is the biggest fast food chain with over 150 restaurants and a 45% share of the market, compared to Burger King which has only 26 outlets and just a 2% share. Even though concerns have been raised with rising obesity rates, the convenience offered by fast food chains is enough to attract everyone including tourists.
8. New Zealand
Annual Spending/capita: $100
New Zealanders, also known as Kiwis, ate their way through $1.5 billion worth of Fast Food in 2012 – a leap of more than 9 per cent on the previous 12 months. That equates to about $330 – enough to buy 63 Big Macs – for every person in the country. The trend for healthier fast food is expected to rise in the next few years. Restaurant brands such as The Pita Pit and Habitual Fix will impact the category, while the influence of frozen yoghurt brands (considered healthier alternatives to ice cream) such as KiwiYo and Yogg is likely to threaten traditional ice cream operators.
7. France
Annual Spending/capita: $116.1
France places seventh on this top 10 list of Fast Food Consuming Countries. French food restaurants are popular in all countries serving it. Some deals such as sandwiches, burgers and pizza have increased the sales in the last couple of years and up to 14 percent. Burger King is the most popular restaurant in France, which was first introduced in the country approximately 16 years ago. France is a European country having a good economy with per capita GDP of $35,680.
The country that gave us the words restaurant, bistro and cuisine is now altering its eating habits. For the first time in France, fast food overtook traditional restaurant receipts as the economic crisis deepened, and the share of people who pack a lunch for work is rising more than ever before. Meanwhile, lurid reports of the increasing number of traditional restaurants resorting to frozen pre-packaged meals to decrease their operational costs have shaken France’s culinary spirit.
6. Ireland
Annual Spending/capita: $124.9
This tiny country situated to the northwest of England saw the third highest jump in fast food consumption in the last 15 years, according to a new World Health Organisation study released in February 2014. Of 25 countries examined in the study, Ireland was behind only Canada and Australia in terms of the increase in the average number of fast food transactions per capita.
