The challenges for bars/pubs and cafés are expected to be sustained, although chained players are likely to see improvements as consumer confidence and out-of-home spending rise amid upturns in economic indicators. The overall number of outlets of cafés/bars is expected to decline steadily in the forecast period, largely due to weaknesses among independent bars/pubs and cafés amidst high operating costs.
Chained specialist coffee and tea shops benefit from a wide availability of offerings, product innovation and the agility to adapt quickly to changing consumer preferences. Cooks Global Foods’s Esquires Coffee, for example, is seeing investment in loyalty apps and pre-ordering systems to improve its digital presence and appeal to younger generations.
Among the factors contributing to a projected weak performance of bars/pubs is the declining rate of alcohol consumption, with younger adults increasingly opting for low and alcohol-free beverages. A number of regulations being implemented in the short term are set to exacerbate the situation for bars/pubs.

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.
