COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Starbucks benefits from openness and community initiatives but the competitive landscape is intensifying
Starbucks (NBO Rustan Coffee Corp) remained the leading company in cafés/bars in 2025, supported by its large outlet network, strong brand recognition and steady foot traffic. As a result, the brand saw a small rise in foodservice value share at the end of the review period.
Rapid expansion of Zus Coffee
Zuspresso Philippines Inc, which entered the fray in 2023, posted exponential foodservice value sales growth through Zus Coffee in 2024. In 2025, it remained the most dynamic company in cafés/bars, driven by rapid expansion and strong consumer gains.
Chained operators gain momentum
Independents led in terms of outlet and foodservice value sales, although chained posted by far the highest growth rates in 2025, as the category modernised and chains became a growing, more accessible and appealing presence. Big specialist coffee and café chains grew faster because as they expand branches faster, employ stronger branding and offer consistent products, helping them attract steady foot traffic, especially for iced coffee and everyday drinks.
