The grab and go market is growing. Rarely has the phrase “convenience is king” been more apt than in the booming food-to-go market. A combination of factors – new ordering and payment technology, global food trends and so-called time poverty has helped to ignite a sector that used to be limited to sandwiches, sausage rolls and sticky buns. The UK’s hot and cold grab and go market is now valued at more than £20B, roughly the gross domestic product of Estonia.

Consumers want food on the move at all hours of the day and the pressure is on to innovate with tasty products and seductive displays. According to IGD and ShopperVista, there are five different occasions, or “missions,” for
food-to-go shoppers: breakfast, drinks, lunch, snacks and leisure. The statistics are compelling.

The company’s survey found that 28% of the UK’s adult population has bought a product on the go for breakfast in the past month – a figure that rises to 70% for lunch. Product choice, quality and taste are big drivers.

Coffee is also playing a big part with more and more customers wanting better and fresher products – products that are also unique and custom made for them.
