On the Move: How the UK Food-to-Go Market Is Changing
Join Lumina Intelligence for an data-led insider session exploring how the UK food-to-go market is evolving amid economic pressure, shifting commuter patterns and intensifying competition.
Food-to-go is forecast to outpace the total eating out market, reaching £24.0bn and growing ahead of inflation as volumes strengthen. But growth is far from uniform.

Drawing on our latest Market Sizing Insight & Analysis and Competitive Landscape research, this session will provide clear direction on where growth is coming from and how brands can capture it.
