Despite the weakening global economy and increasing awareness of health risks, the fast food
industry has managed to flourish. Though the market is witnessing promising growth, owing to a
considerable number of players, numerous factors are influencing the growth of the industry. The
availability of lucrative prospects in the sector is attracting a considerable number of companies into the
industry. Moreover, the growing competition is also compelling organizations to invest heavily in
research and development to differentiate themselves in the market. Growing concerns pertaining to
obesity are gaining traction across the world.
With the need to remain healthy, consumers are shifting their preferences towards healthier options. To
keep pace with the preferences, organizations are also planning to re-invent their product offerings by
including low-calorie products into their meals.
