According to a new report by UnivDatos, the HoReCa Market is expected to reach USD billion in 2033 by growing at a CAGR of 5.73% during the forecast period (2025- 2033F). The HoReCa (Hotel, Restaurant, and Catering) market is set to experience greater growth, fueled by changing consumer behavior, technological changes, and growth in travel and dining post-pandemic. The industry is in a bounce-back period, with consumers focusing more on convenience, dining experience, and digital interaction. On the other hand, demand for high-end foodservice experiences is getting a big boost due to rising income in emerging economies, growing urbanization, and, again, global tourism. Additionally, technology plays the chief role while scaling up this industry. Digitization of order-taking, AI-based personalization, and delivery services are settling in well in operation and elevating the customer experience to another level. The combination of healthy and sustainability trends in the dining sector, however, inspires the operator to provide innovation while opening the doors to plant-based choices with ethically sourced ingredients on the menu. For instance, in 2025, according to the data published by THP (Top Hotel Projects), one of the global companies that deals with a hotel projects database, connecting suppliers with decision-makers in the hotel industry, stated that there are currently 8011 hotel opening projects in the pipeline globally, with 2,771 (35%) scheduled to debut in 2025, adding over 514,000 new rooms worldwide.

Key Highlights of the Report:

Ø Growth in Tourism and Business Travel: Post-pandemic rebound in leisure trips, MICE events, and intra-regional business travel fills hotels and restaurants, stimulating investments in capacity, premium services, and destination-specific culinary offerings to capture mobile spending globally.

Ø Rising Disposable Income and Urbanization: Expanding middle-class wallets and dense urban lifestyles accelerate eating-out frequency, demand for diverse cuisines, convenience formats, and experiential dining, pushing operators to scale innovative concepts and preimmunize menus for customers.

Ø Rapid Adoption of Digital Technologies and Delivery Services: Smartphones, QR codes, AI-powered ordering, and last-mile delivery apps streamline transactions, expand reach, generate data insights, reduce staffing pressures, and create new revenue channels beyond traditional bricks-and-mortar dining service models.

Segments that transform the industry

·       The single outlet segment is leading in the HoReCa market. This predominance could be attributed to factors like single outlet establishments, which are more flexible in their customization, pricing, and service styles, enabling them to better cater to the local tastes and preferences. Relatively, single outlets do not attract large amounts of capital investments and operating expenses like other chain restaurants, thereby becoming an affordable business model to others with an entrepreneurial aspiration. This financial access has motivated the multiplication of single-outlet HoReCa enterprises, especially in the emerging market and tier-2 and tier-3 cities. Additionally, the consumers are becoming much more interested in special and local food adventures, which the single-store is much better able to provide than the standardized chain structure. Single-outlet businesses have also been empowered by the growth in food delivery services and digital marketing, such that they do not necessarily have to establish a multiplicity of their physical location. Consequently, the single outlet segment will remain a key driver of development in the HoReCa market, using the strengths of both innovation and speediness as the pillars of competitiveness.

·       The restaurant segment dominated the market in the historic year and is expected to dominate in the forecast period. This is because of the implementation of new technologies like AI-powered ordering systems and contactless payment, cloud kitchen networks, and more. Advanced operations such as smart POS, smart inventory prediction, and robot-aided cooking are also part of the modern stores, and a small-scale digital pilot may be established before the complete rollout of the operation in the dining room. This tendency reduces the overheads and minimizes the concept-to-table duration of new food service solutions, and therefore integration of technologies into the businesses becomes an absolute differentiator of the global hospitality industry. The requirement of “live validation under operating conditions” is increasingly higher, considering the increasing demand for hygiene, velocity, and adherence to the changing sustainability norms.

The Asia Pacific HoReCa market dominated the global HoReCa market in 2024 and is forecasted to remain in this position in the forecast period. The HoReCa industry in Asia-Pacific has been experiencing a sharp recovery, the consumer food-service spending boosted by enhanced middle-income consumer spending, high inbound tourism, and high population densities in digital food-delivery platforms. In Japan to Australia, governments have beefed up food-waste regulation and introduced incentives to lower-carbon kitchens, and this is improving the pace at which circular menus, smart-energy appliances, and meat alternatives are being adopted. Simultaneously, rapid urbanization is driving hybrid, cross-over forms of cafes-coworking-cloud-kitchen along with intense investment in AI-based ordering, QR payment, and automated prep lines as featured at local food, hospitality, and equipment shows such as THAIFEX-HOREC Asia in 2025. Chinese value-chains like Mixue and Luckin Coffee are expanding into Southeast Asia with affordable, ultra-low-cost and tech-driven franchise structures, increasing competition levels among Western QSR giants. For instance, in June 2025, Little Caesars, the U.S. pizza chain, will debut in Delhi-NCR and aims for 100 outlets by 2030, introducing vegetarian flavors and spiced crusts to suit local tastes—a sign of renewed international appetite for Asia’s fast-casual growth story.
