The World Hospitality and Food Service Event
SIRHA LYON 2025: AT THE FOREFRONT OF A FAST CHANGING SECTOR
After a challenging summer in France, the hospitality and catering industry continues to evolve. Technological innovations, optimized logistics, and solutions that combine speed with sustainability are redefining the rules, pushing professionals to adapt to a complex and competitive environment.
According to a study by Sirha Food for Sirha Lyon 2025, restaurateurs are now dealing with customers who have paradoxical expectations. Consumers seek quick and accessible dining experiences while demanding quality, sustainability, and instant satisfaction. This dual expectation is reshaping consumption behaviors, particularly among younger generations: 66% of those under 35 purchase takeaway meals each month, while 83% of 25-34-year-olds value extended convivial moments at restaurants, signaling a shift towards more functional dining that remains focused on the customer experience1
. Half of French restaurant guests are between 20 and 30, but budget constraints remain a key factor when deciding to dine out1
. The food service industry is currently at a turning point, marked by profound transformations. Long based on certain preconceptions, the restaurant sector is facing a changing world. „Is the restaurant disappearing?” It is, at the very least, it is undergoing a transformation. This change is driven by generational shifts, increased pressure on purchasing power, and the growing influence of digital habits on lifestyles. Between tradition and innovation, local and global, tensions are increasing. Through Sirha Dynamics, Sirha Lyon anticipates these „paradoxical tensions” within the sector and explores key issues shaping the future of food. Over five days, each theme will be explored through interviews, masterclasses and round table, addressing major industry trends: Inclusivity vs. Exclusivity, Dopamine Now vs. Dopamine Slow, Local Modernity vs. Global Modernity, Ego-Thrift vs. Eco-Thrift, and Augmented Intelligence vs. Augmented Restaurant.
More than just an exhibition, Sirha Lyon positions itself as a catalyst for these changes, helping professionals anticipate future challenges and adapt their strategies to thrive in this new ecosystem.
For this new edition, the Sirha Innovation Awards will continue to establish Sirha Lyon as an innovation hub by rewarding the most outstanding initiatives. Since 2015, 73% of awarded products are still on the market, demonstrating the lasting impact of this recognition for the winners, who benefit from a
real launchpad.
Reflecting the industry’s evolution, Sirha Lyon 2025 is adapting to meet new market demands.
Highlights of the next edition include a significant expansion of the beverage offering with a „Wines and Spirits” sector and an innovation bar, as well as a fast-growing start up village, doubling in size compared to the previous edition, further strengthening the event’s commitment to promising young companies.
AN INTERNATIONAL PLATFORM FOR FOOD SERVICE PROFESSIONALS
Over the editions, Sirha Lyon has established itself as a meeting place where French and international
professionals converge. In 2025, the emphasis on international participation is stronger, with 25% of
international exhibitors. Dedicated pavilions for Belgium, China, Ireland, Italy (ICE), Japan, and Spain
will highlight culinary cultures from around the world. The Saudi Arabian pavilion, part of the Sirha Arabia
2024 dynamic, further opening up to Middle East markets.
Sirha Lyon is also a global stage where industry professionals compete in two major international contests: the Bocuse d’Or and the Pastry World Cup.

chocolate desserts around the theme “Chocolate Street Food.” Candidates will need to craft sweet
