The New York Food Truck Association: Food Truck Catering Trends of 2022
We are thrilled to announce that The New York Food Truck Association catered over 500 events in 2022, bringing gourmet dining experiences across all five boroughs!
Of all the different types of events we service— holiday parties, quinceñeras, birthdays, etc.— our most popular bookings in 2022 were weddings, corporate events, and school events, racking up over half of our total partnerships.

Why was 2022 a successful year for food truck catering?
Our success this year has been extraordinary for two main reasons:
COVID-19 recovery.
A large part of our boom in 2022 was because of the slow (but steady) recovery from COVID-19. When large gatherings were put on halt during 2020 and some of 2021, fewer people were looking to use our catering services, but thankfully, 2022 saw a major comeback.
Employees are heading back into the office, postponed weddings are being rescheduled, and schools are again welcoming parents with parent-teacher conferences and back-to-school events!
Growing food truck catering trend.
In general, food trucks are a growing trend sweeping the nation, representing a $1.4B market in the U.S. Aside from day-to-day food truck businesses, people are also becoming increasingly aware of the fact that food trucks are a perfect option for events and catering.
