the market;

products that satisfy the same needs but with different benefits;

13. Food Truck Industry Trends in Lisbon
2014 - 10 concepts. → 2015: Over 60 and counting
No specific street food legislation in Portugal.
Current legislation is outdated and generally
geared to street sales.
Over 90% of these street food concepts survive on
doing private events, which makes it difficult to
grow the market. It’s critical to change the
legislation.
Consumers in Portugal interested in?
Traditional Portuguese food to bagels, burgers,
tacos, coffee, yogurts, fries, sushi, sweets and
wine.
It’s more than food, it’s a spectacle- consumers
love experiences, entertainment and sharing
it all.
Food in general, but street food in particular, is
a way to socialize and discover new concepts.
Street food should be developed based on local
consumer expectations and needs, just like
with any other business.
