Indonesia Catering Market is driven by several high growth potential opportunities and test case scenarios. Hospitality sector and the market for pure play caterers is highly fragmented whereas, in-flight & industrial, railway catering sectors have been marked with highly concentrated competition. There were approximately 1,500 food catering entities operating in 2017 providing food catering services along with providing supplementary facilities such as flower decoration, parking facilities, seating arrangement, cutlery and others. Few of the major players include Sasana Kriya, Hilton Garden Inn, Conrad Bali, The Royal Santrian, Hard Rock Hotel Bali, Holiday Inn Jakarta, Holiday Inn Express Jakarta Thamrin, PT Indocater, CAS Group, Aerofood and others.
The pre-requisite of heavy investment into setting up a full-fledged production facility and establishing a large distribution network has presented challenges for stakeholders to scale their businesses. This also proves to be a barrier in the entry of new players. Presence & expertise of major players, large geographical out-reach (especially to remote sites), diversity in menus, larger capacity of event halls, well established & exclusive clientele have helped these major players to assemble higher revenue share in the market during the 2012-2017.
