The Zhitong Finance App learned that the China Culinary Association released a monthly analysis of the catering industry for September 2026. In September, the country's food and beverage revenue was 460.3 billion yuan, up 2.1% year on year, up 1.0 percentage point from August; unit food and beverage revenue above the limit was 141.3 billion yuan, up 2.0% year on year, from 0.7% year-on-year decline in August to positive growth. From January to September, the country's food and beverage revenue was 419.9 billion yuan, an increase of 2.4% over the previous year, accounting for 11.3% of the total amount of society zero. The Mid-Autumn Festival reunion consumption was released centrally, the ticket economy was monetized at an accelerated pace, and policies continued to strengthen from the three-dimensional level of “nurturing subjects, providing capital, and expanding scenarios”, and the signs of a steady recovery in the industry were further strengthened. However, the cumulative growth rate above the limit (1.3%) is still lower than the industry as a whole (2.4%). Leading companies have yet to completely break out of the pressure range, and the industry is still in the structural repair stage in a weak recovery channel.
