COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Expansion of both international and local players in 2025
International chains, including Starbucks and Costa Coffee, continued their expansion in 2025. Regional chains also strengthened their presence in Egypt in the year.
Dynamic local innovators
Boutique brands, including Seven Fortunes Coffee Roasters and Koffee Kulture, were among the fastest-growing in 2025 in terms of outlet expansion and customer engagement. These brands are distinguished by their small-batch roasting techniques and social-media-driven marketing.
Chained cafés benefit from consumer trust in consistent quality and greater bargaining power
In 2025, chained cafés/bars outperformed their independent counterparts, driven by consumer trust in consistent quality, air-conditioned environments, and convenient digital payment options. Despite this, independent operators retained the largest share of total foodservice value sales, playing a crucial role in fostering market diversity and innovation.
