Demographic trends
Attractive demographic trends
The growth in the professional table top segment is predominantly fuelled by three trends:
- Increased take-out and eating away-from-home: Increasing eating away-from-home habits drives the number of meals served in restaurants etc. Approximately two thirds of Duni's sales are directed to the professional market (hotels, restaurants, and catering companies).
- Conceptualization: Increasing trend of theme based concepts in the professional market, generating opportunities for customized and bundled table top product series; and
- Linen decline: Shifting demand for linen table top solutions as customers seek more
convenient solutions, generating further opportunities for disposable concepts in the professional market.
In addition, the table top market is experiencing a polarization trend where the higher and lower price points are benefiting at the expense of the medium price segment. The premium segment, where Duni is particularly strong, is experiencing the fastest growth.
