COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Aroma Express solidifies its leadership through large network on branches
Shefa Franchisers Ltd, the owner of Aroma Express, solidified its leadership in Israel’s café/bar sector in 2025, holding the highest foodservice value share. With stores nationwide, Aroma’s extensive network ensures high visibility and accessibility, making it a familiar choice for consumers across the country.
Arcafe (Israel Ltd) is strategically expanding to remain resilient in face of the war
Arcafe distinguished itself as the most dynamic company in Israel’s café/bar sector in 2025, even as the overall category faced significant headwinds. The escalation of the war has created a challenging environment for all operators, with reduced consumer confidence, lower tourism, and shifting consumption patterns.
Independent café/bars remain prevalent due to unique locally owned venues
Independent foodservice café/bars held the largest share of foodservice value sales in 2025. These establishments are deeply embedded in Israeli culture, often serving as community hubs and offering personalised experiences that chains may struggle to replicate.
