COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
LOOB leads, but premium positioning faces sharper value competition
LOOB Holdings led street stalls/kiosks in 2025 by value share, with its Tealive the number one brand, but its performance faced stronger price competition than in 2024 as value-led players expanded aggressively. A premium price range created a clearer contrast with operators using flat, low price points, including Mixue’s MYR5 proposition across beverages.
Ai-CHA and Mixue accelerate through rapid rollout, halal alignment and aggressive pricing
Aicha Food and Mixue Malaysia ranked among the most dynamic operators in 2025, driven by network expansion, active promotional calendars and product rotation through their Ai-CHA and Mixue brands. Ai-CHA strengthened its position through rapid outlet growth and halal certification activity, which widened consumer trust and reinforced the brand’s franchise appeal.
Independents retain broad presence, buoyed by new retail space and low entry barriers
Independent operators accounted for the largest share of street stalls/kiosks outlets in 2025, reflecting low start-up requirements and the ease of operating single-site concepts. New and refurbished mall openings during 2025, alongside planned retail developments over the forecast period, are likely to create additional pitch opportunities for independent stalls, especially in food courts and compact retail clusters.

Street Stalls/Kiosks
Small, sometimes mobile, foodservice providers characterised by a limited product offering and by low prices. Includes street stalls, street hawkers and foodservice kiosks where food is prepared in some way and served through a hatch or over a display counter to take away. Also includes kiosks and carts located externally or internally eg in shopping malls etc. As a rule, street stalls/kiosks outlets tend to be smaller than 100% home delivery/takeaway outlets, while menus are more limited, often (though certainly not always) with a greater emphasis on snack items, rather than full meals.
