Let’s turn to IBISWorld to see more figures…

IBISWorld states that the food truck industry’s total revenue in 2019 is up at $1 billion.

The number of businesses is also up at 23,872.

What about the annual growth from 2014 to 2019? Also up… to the tune of 6.8 percent.

And, finally, the industry employment is, you guessed it, up as well with 28,916 employees in the industry.

IBISWorld also states that…

“The Food Trucks industry has expanded over the five years to 2019 and is one of the best-performing segments in the broader food service sector. The industry’s remarkable rise is largely attributable to changing consumer preferences in favor of unique, gourmet cuisine at less expensive prices.”
