中国咖啡市场年度数据分析及预测 COFFEE MARKET IN CHINA
中国咖啡市场 – 随着我国人民生活水平的提高和对咖啡文化认知程度不断增长,加之巨大的人口红利,刺激国内咖啡消费。目前,中国咖啡市场正在进入一个高速发展的阶段,因此这两年各大咖啡品牌也在不断通过加速开店、布局高端市场、强化咖啡供应链等方式,巩固自身的市场地位。 咖啡厅数量超14万家,咖啡消费量持续增长 中国咖啡行业的高速发展带动了咖啡连锁行业,例如咖啡店。据中商产业研究院数据显示:近年来,我国咖啡厅数量增长增长十分迅速。2007年全国约有15906家咖啡厅,到2012年,快速增长到31794家,预计2018年中国咖啡厅数量突破14万家。 数据来源:中商产业研究院 中国咖啡市场 在中国咖啡消费量方面,2014-2018年中国咖啡市场消费量稳定增长。2014年咖啡消费总量为2181万吨,同比增长34%;2017年消费总量为3825万吨,同比增长29%。随着中国咖啡市场的逐渐成熟,市场进入整合期,增速将有所下降。 数据来源:USDA、中商产业研究院 中国咖啡市场 咖啡行业细分市场占比 在咖啡连锁领域,以上岛咖啡为代表的本土咖啡企业凭借其先入优势和渠道优势在占据了可观的市场份额。以星巴克为代表的外资品牌依靠其品牌形象和差异化的竞争策略后来居上,在“一线城市”和“意式咖啡”这个细分领域占据领先地位。近年来,一些新兴咖啡连锁品牌凭借精准的市场定位和独树一帜的经营模式逐渐打破了星巴克及上岛咖啡对市场的垄断地位,带动连锁咖啡市场朝着更多元化的方向发展。 咖啡豆经过生豆处理,烘焙、萃取,烹煮等步骤变为一杯饮品,按照消费方式的不同,咖啡可分为速溶咖啡、即饮咖啡、现磨咖啡。从我国咖啡行业目前的细分市场来看,速溶咖啡霸占中国咖啡市场。据数据显示,速溶咖啡市场占比高达71.8%;其次为现磨咖啡,市场占比为18.1%,其后为即饮咖啡,市场占比为10.1%。 数据来源:中商产业研究院 中国咖啡市场发展前景可期 据伦敦国际咖啡组织统计,与全球平均2%的增速相比,中国的咖啡消费正在以每年15%的惊人速度增长。预计到2025年,中国将成长为1万亿元的巨型咖啡消费帝国。随着国内消费者对咖啡好感度不断提升,我国的咖啡市场呈现出巨大的潜力,在近十年内将有长足发展。 综合以上三大因素,不难理解此次可口可乐收购咖世家的交易是强强联合实现双赢的局面。一方面收购热饮,也完成了可口可乐在饮料市场的完整布局。可口可乐也能更深入发展咖啡市场业务,进行多元化经营,从而一定程度上弥补在碳酸饮料市场的下行。而另一方面对于咖世家而言,由于近期咖啡豆成本上升,英镑下跌、人力成本上升。加上英国脱欧,后续影响可能会持续较长时间,Costa在英国本土运营问题十分严重。另外Costa在英国本土市场门店相当密集,本土市场饱和,门店客流量也在流失,导致同店销售额增长放缓、利润下跌。数据显示,Costa咖啡去年的同店销售额仅增长了1.2%,第一季度的同店销售额同比下滑了2%。通过加入可口可乐借助其强大客户网络,将为咖世家带来极具潜力的多形式业务发展。 文章来源:中商产业研究院 Gearing up for increased business relations with China and other Chinese speaking region, it’s never too early to start learning!
