Summary and extracts
1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Pizza originated in Italy, and the modern pizza was invented in Naples. Pizza is made from bread dough and topped with a variety of ingredients (e.g. tomato sauce, cheese, olives, olive oil), enabling it to be baked in the oven.
The main distribution channels for pizza are as follows:
- Foodservice (restaurants, fast-food chains, sometimes franchises).
- Hypermarkets and supermarkets
- Contract catering
The Spanish pizza market appears to be relatively stable. Traditionally, pizzas are eaten outside the home, in restaurants. A few global brands dominate the market in fast-food chains, but the market is more fragmented in full-service restaurants, while consumers are also turning to home consumption.
This trend is facilitated by the online catering and delivery sector, but also by a wider range of products such as frozen pizzas. The move towards takeaway or online ordering is also fuelled by the arrival of FoodTech players, which has helped to further stimulate growth in the pizza market and its distributors.
The aim of this study is to analyze the entire pizza range and the ways in which it is consumed (fresh, chilled and frozen).
