COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Starbucks maintains top position amid labourrelated disruptions
Starbucks Coffee Chile SA remained the leading company in cafés/bars in Chile in 2025, despite a drop in foodservice value share. The year was marked by one of the most significant operational challenges the chain has faced locally.
Dunkin' is the most dynamic brand in 2025
In 2025, Dunkin', the second-ranked brand behind Starbucks, was the most dynamic brand in cafés/bars in terms of foodservice value share and outlet openings. This performance was supported by an assertive expansion strategy and a valuedriven positioning that resonated strongly with Chilean consumers.
Independents hold sway but chains dominate specialist coffee and tea shops
In 2025, independent operators held the largest share of foodservice value sales within cafés/bars, reflecting the strong presence of local cafés, bakerycafés, bars and juice/smoothie concepts, which remain deeply embedded in Chile’s everyday consumption habits. These independents benefit from broad geographical reach, neighbourhood proximity and formats that combine affordability with an appealing, familiar experience.
