As an important part of the service industry, the catering industry has received extensive attention because of its large market, rapid growth, wide influence and strong ability to absorb employment. It is also an important carrier for developed countries to export capital, brands and culture. The intervention of various financial capital and industrial capital contributed to this trend.

After years of reform and development, China's catering market has entered a new stage, and some new changes have taken place in market competition. It is very important for catering enterprises to grasp this changing trend and study and formulate correct countermeasures.

The catering market is relatively the most dispersed market, and no large catering group in China can occupy the market share of 1%. It can be said that the catering industry is a completely competitive industry, and the industry concentration is quite low. The future development trend is that the industry concentration will be greatly improved, which requires the integration of large enterprises.

Judging from the competition and development pattern of catering enterprises, the competition of catering enterprises in China will be more intense in the future, accompanied by more enterprises going public.
