COVID has affected every industry and so it is expected that it would have affected Fast food as well. According to the list of valuable brands released by Brand Finance, it is clear that this happened considering almost half of the brands in the list witnessed a decline in brand value. Moreover, the most valuable fast food brands list that has 25 restaurants on it saw a total decrease of $8.2 billion (from US$162.1 billion in 2020 to US$153.9 billion in 2021).
Richard Haigh, Managing Director, Brand Finance said:
“The restaurant sector has shown remarkable adaptability in the face of unforeseen and challenging circumstances brought about by COVID-19. The efforts to refocus on at-home dining and the investment in digital presence have inured many of the biggest brands from far more dire consequences. The pace of vaccine distribution – particularly across the US and the UK – means there are signs of hope yet for the restaurant sector, with many customers eager to return to socialising and dining together.”
