primarily in the metropolitan cities due to the
cosmopolitan culture of these cities and the ease of
back-end integration.
Geographically, southern part of the country
contributes to 33% of the total number of chained
outlets of all players operating in the café segment.
Café outlet penetration or spread is low in the eastern
region with Café Coffee Day and Barista having just 9%
of the total outlets.
Top eight cities of India contribute to 40-45% of the
chain café market.
This straddling in the café space across segments and
formats is sustained by players with an increasing
presence in new locations like hospitals, college
campuses, highways etc. It is a strategy by the café
sector players to tap into a wider customer base.

Domestic Coffee Consumption
(000MT)
The size of the retail coffee market in India stood at `30 billion in 2014
and is expected to grow to `51 billion by 2020.
Domestic consumption of coffee is growing at 5-6% a year, while
production is stagnating. Consumption in India is estimated at 0.125
million MT/ year against a production of 0.315 million MT.
Southern part of the country accounts for nearly 80% of the total coffee
consumption in India. However, there is more potential in the other
regions outside South India, where the occasional consumers are high in
number. Occasional drinkers contribute to 52% of the total coffee
consumers, which essentially means that people have started
experiencing this beverage. This presents an opportunity for growth and
could be advantageously used to increase the consumption of coffee in
the country by converting them to regular coffee drinkers.
