COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Starbucks operator Alsea leads sales
Alsea was the leading company in cafés/bars in Argentina by value in 2025, largely driven by its operation of the Starbucks network. The player is continuously innovating by introducing new, special limited-edition products and collaborations, such as the Starbucks and Stranger Things partnership across Latin America and the Caribbean in late 2025, offering exclusive beverages and themed merchandise to drive customer interest and seasonal sales.
Juan Valdez brand expands its presence
Grupo Gastronómico Re was the most dynamic company in cafés/bars in Argentina by value in 2025, driven by the rapid expansion of its Juan Valdez brand. Juan Valdez doubled its footprint, increasing from three outlets in 2024 to six in 2025.
Specialist coffee and tea shops expand their footprint
While independent cafes/bars outnumber chained outlets, the latter performed significantly better in terms of value growth in 2025. This advantage stems from their general prime locations, greater financial resources that allow them to absorb economic pressures, and the ability to implement promotions and flexible payment options.
