The revenue of China's catering industry is expected to exceed 3.9 trillion yuan (about 603.6 billion US dollars) for 2017, up 10.7 percent compared to 2016, according to the latest statistics from the Chinese Cuisine Association. The association's 2017 annual food consumption report shows that in 2017, Chinese-style meals still dominate, accounting for 57 percent of the total. The report also shows that younger customers are the driving force among food and beverage consumers, accounting for around half of all food and beverage consumption. The value of China's takeaway food app market is expected to exceed 200 billion yuan in 2017, according to the report. This is a substantial increase on the 166 billion yuan recorded in 2016. The average price of each takeaway order on popular Chinese food ordering app Ele.me exceeded 40 yuan last year.
