Food Trucks in the US Industry Market Research Report from IBISWorld Has Been Updated
by BWW News Desk - February 02, 2015
The Food Trucks industry has only grown in strength over the past five years, and is one of the best-performing segments in the broader food-service sector. The industry's remarkable rise has been largely attributable to changing consumer preferences in favor of unique, gourmet cuisine at budget-conscious prices. 'Cities such as Portland, OR, Los Angeles and Austin sought to differentiate themselves by crafting laws and creating areas specially designed for mobile food trucks,' according to IBISWorld Industry Analyst Andrew Alvarez. These trends have been a boon for the Food Trucks industry, as consumers sought to maximize their disposable income by indulging in small conveniences such as affordable gourmet food. As a result, industry revenue has increased at an impressive annualized rate of 9.3% over the five years to 2015.
