EAST ASIA EXPECTED TO SURPASS 100,000 BRANDED OUTLETS OVER NEXT FIVE YEARS
Allegra predicts the East Asian branded coffee shop market will exceed 103,500 outlets by the end of 2025, representing five-year growth of 6.8% CAGR.
The coffee-focused branded chain sub-segment is predicted to grow at 7.5% CAGR over the next five years to exceed 84,500 outlets, while the food-focused
branded chain sub-segment is predicted to grow at 3.9% CAGR, exceeding 18,900 outlets. Growth will be driven by the continued expansion of the middle
classes across East Asia, with higher disposable incomes, alongside a greater desire for high quality espresso based beverages out-of-home.
The East Asian branded coffee segment has grown by 8.8% CAGR over the last five years. While Covid-19 has impacted the region comparatively less than
Europe and the Americas, disruption felt in early 2020 is partly responsible for annual growth reducing to 5.1% over the last 12 months. The East Asian
branded coffee market now exceeds 74,500 outlets as a result. In China, Luckin has been responsible for the majority of outlet growth between 2017 and
2019. However, a focus on business restructuring over the last 12 months means growth has predominantly been sustained by Coco Fresh and Starbucks.
As a nation synonymous with tea production and consumption, coffee has been a relatively modern influence, with Starbucks first establishing its presence
in 1999. The brand is held in high esteem by Chinese consumers, significantly greater than in the USA according to Allegra research. Many major domestic
players have been established since 2010, and the real explosion of outlets has occurred over the last five years. These homegrown brands are Western
inspired, but with greater influence of Chinese cultural characteristics, leading to a rich, diverse coffee culture which continues to evolve.
Project Café East Asia 2021 is now available and is priced at £6,000
