Premium Steak Restaurants in the US industry analysis
The Premium Steak Restaurants industry has fared relatively well most of the past five years, following similarly positive trends in the domestic economy. The industry is characterized by high-end dining establishments, with average customer checks totaling $50.00 or more. As a result, growth in per capita disposable income, consumer spending and the prevalence of households earning more than $100,000 in annual income has benefited the industry, enabling consumers to opt for premium steak establishments for dining experiences. However, the industry suffered significant revenue losses in 2020 due to the nonessential business closure order from the COVID-19 outbreak. Fortunately, the restrictions were eased in 2021 as the coronavirus vaccine has been rolled out, enabling premium steak restaurants to reopen for dine-in services. Although industry revenue recovered, rising inflation pressured industry revenue as customers reduced discretionary expenses. Over the five years to 2024, IBISWorld expects industry revenue to rise an annualized 3.6% to $7.9 billion, including a rise of 2.4% in 2024 alone.
Trends and Insights
- Industry demand is influenced primarily by economic factors that directly affect consumer end markets. Since industry establishments offer high-end dining experiences, corporate clientele and households earning more than $100,000 annually represent the most prominent consumer segments.
- All of the restaurants included in the Premium Steak Restaurants industry are fine-dining steak restaurants. However, the industry can be segmented by specialty cuisines that the establishments serve.
- Premium steak restaurants generally follow population and household income distribution trends. As a result, regions boasting comparatively higher per capita incomes or that carry large, concentrated metropolitan areas will account for a larger portion of total industry establishments.
- Low barriers to entry result in the industry being highly fragmented. However, each restaurant has its own recipe, lowering the degree of competition that they face.
