Throughout the industry lockdown, CGA continued to monitor, analyse and report on COVID-19’s impact on the out-of-home food and drink market, providing regular updates and insights to help partners chart a course to recovery once Government restrictions were eased.

Our webinars and surveys of consumer and business leader attitudes, backed up by data from re-emerging international markets, have helped to keep the sector up-to-date with developments and provided focus for future forecasting

But, we have also been working hard behind the scenes to adapt our processes and improve our core services so that as the market reopens we can deliver data and insight faster and more effectively, enabling both supplier and operator partners to track and respond swiftly to changing market conditions and consumer dynamics

Now each week we will be tracking outlet openings, sales performance and consumer behaviour to give you the most comprehensive picture of the post-lockdown landscape. As part of increased market collaboration, we are also working closely with technology experts such as Wireless Social and Yumpingo to provide footfall measurement and in-moment consumer feedback

Many headline stats will be available free-of-charge through our weekly CGA Ezine – and to enable better, quicker and more informed decision-making, we also have a range of recovery-focused services that can be tailored to your specific needs :
