Cafés/bars faces a challenging outlook with factors such as elevated inflation, the switch to remote working, and staff shortages all likely make it hard for players to remain profitable. 2022 and 2023 saw a temporary surge in consumer activity, with this set to continue in 2024 due to the Paris Olympic Games, but the category is expected to start declining again from 2025 onwards.
Another major threat to the future of the cafés/bars category is the expected ongoing decline of bars-tabac (tobacconists bars in French). These operations will likely face strong pressure on their margins due to the increase in their costs (eg soaring energy prices and rising staffing costs).
Despite the challenges facing cafés/bars there is still some opportunities that remain. For instance, some chained and independent outlets are prioritising entertainment, such as after-work breaks and weekend parties, to attract customers.

Cafés/Bars
This category encompasses all establishments where the focus is on drinking (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages). While a wide variety of snacks and full meals are offered, it is not uncommon for consumers to only order a drink. As a general rule, establishments deriving 50% of their income or more from the sale of drinks are included here.
