The catering and group meal contracting industry continued its strong growth momentum, likely reflecting increased demand in this market. The reasons for the continued growth in the catering and group meal contracting industry are analyzed as follows:
Increased demand for airline meals: With the resumption of international travel, the demand for airline meals has significantly increased, driving growth in the catering and group meal contracting industry.
Corporate events and large gatherings: As pandemic restrictions eased, the number of corporate events and large gatherings increased, leading to a rise in demand for catering and group meal services.
