McDonalds fears that it is heading towards a limited growth in the European market. Although many Europeans are intrigued by American food, McDonalds burgers and fries are yesterdays news. As a result of this decline in sales, McDonalds has begun an aggressive price competition in most European countries. Recognizing a steady and stable demand for fast food in Europe, McDonalds is quite willing to spend a substantial amount of capital for advertising and promotion if this would appear to be a good investment. In recent years, McDonalds has been able to develop burgers and fries that tend to contain less fat than those of most local fast food competitors, however only a limited number of customers are aware of this change. Confidential research has shown that many Europeans are getting tired of conventional burgers and would be more interested in contemporary fast foods such as Tex-Mex, Nandos and Southern Fried Spicy Chicken.
