Although lunchtime is one of the key meal occasions of the day, as a result of the Covid pandemic there’s been a significant shift in at-home consumption with a +87.7% increase versus a -76% decline in carried out lunchboxes. There’s also been a major lunchtime health shift with 33% of adults now switching to healthy foods.
Despite that the overall lunchtime market, whether at-home or carry-out, is estimated to be worth in the region £4.3 billion, with over 20 billion lunch occasions and growing at around 12.3%YoY* *Source Kantar/The Grocer Focus on Lunchbox – July 2020
