In 2022, China's restaurant industry is still more severely affected by the epidemic. But the development of prepared dishes has allowed the restaurant industry to reduce the impact of the decline in dine-in business and has provided the industry with a new profit model. It is expected to grow slowly in the short term, with an estimated market size of 556.35 billion yuan by 2025.

According to the 2021 Catering Industry Data Report, national catering revenue totaled 46,895 billion yuan, an increase of 18.6%; catering revenue for units above the limit was 1,043.4 billion yuan, an increase of 23.5% year-on-year.
