We're pleased to announce the upcoming Business Breakfast on
"Malaysia's Foodservice Recovery – And the Unique Characteristics of the Malaysian Consumer" presented by
Saladplate and Food & Hotel Malaysia in collaboration with GlobalData PLC.
In the heart of Malaysia's vibrant food scene, a twofold narrative unfolds—of the foodservice industry's resurgence and the distinctive traits characterizing Malaysian consumers. The journey of the culinary renaissance intertwines with the tastes, preferences, and behaviours that set Malaysians apart. Discover a captivating synergy between the recovery of Malaysia's foodservice sector and the intriguing essence of its consumers, shaping an enchanting tale of resilience and unique gastronomic identities.
In this presentation, Tim Hill, the speaker from GlobalData PLC will use GlobalData's proprietary foodservice intelligence databases and analytical tools to look at the post-covid recovery of Malaysia's F&B sector in comparison with the rest of SE Asia in terms of the channels that are the fastest growing and the relative menu price.
Additionally, he will then draw on GlobalData's extensive consumer survey data and thematic analysis to look at how the Malaysian consumer differs from those of neighbouring countries in terms of habits, expenditure, cuisine choices, motivations for trying new food products and likelihood (or not) of being influenced by global consumer trends.
This session will help to show foodservice operators how best to position their brands and F&B operations to generate growth in SE Asia's most diverse market.
