Factors such as a growing urban population, increased youth population, rapidly growing pizza market and the popularity of pizza franchise ownership are expected to further drive the market. A few notable trends include an accelerating online pizza delivery industry, pizza vending machines, a demand for frozen pizza, increased customer preference for gluten-free pizza, and a growing adoption of social media advertising tools. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact, there has been a huge demand, globally, for Home Delivery and Take Away (HDTA) pizza businesses. Further, the expansion of pizza chains in populous economies (such as China, Russia, India, the U.S., etc.) would be key for supporting market growth. Currently, the fastest growing regional market is Europe, owing to a rising demand for frozen and gluten-free pizza in Scandinavia, an increased penetration of online pizza delivery companies in France, and a growing adoption of multiple sales channels by domestic pizza outlets.
