Pizza Market Growth Analysis

The global pizza market is being driven by the four main factors:

  • Growing innovation and customization in pizza
  • Increasing demand for gluten-free pizza
  • Burgeoning marketing initiatives
  • The rising popularity of fast-casual pizza

The fast-casual pizza restaurant is a rapidly growing concept which combines quick-service restaurants and casual dining restaurants. Consumers have shown that they are willing to pay more for the healthy, fresh, and low-calorie pizza served at fast-casual restaurants, which is encouraging market players to form strategic partnerships to capture a larger market share. For example, Chipotle Mexican Grill partnered with restaurateurs Bobby Stuckey and Lachlan Mackinnon-Patterson to launch Pizzeria Locale, a fast-casual pizza concept which cooks pizzas to perfection in around 2 minutes. 

This increase in health-conscious consumers is also leading to the popularity of gluten-free pizzas. Approximately 1% of the population in the United States has celiac disease but there is a growing demand from consumers that prefer gluten-free pizza strictly as a healthier alternative. In countries such as the UK, France, Canada, and the US, there is has already been a significant rise in pizza establishments that offer gluten-free pizza in their menu.
