Market Report, "Cafes/Bars in Canada", published

In 2013, cafés/bars grew by 3% in current value sales terms to reach C$5.1 billion. Growth slowed due to the maturity of this foodservice type and strong competition among chains. All types posted foodservice value sales growth in 2013. Chained juice/smoothie bars posted the fastest growth, while cafés and specialist coffee shops saw slower growth compared to 2012. The number of outlets overall increased by 2% to reach 8,700 establishments. Outlet growth in 2013 was faster than in 2012, as juice/smoothie bars and chained specialist coffee shops continued their expansion.

Competitive Landscape

Industry Prospects

Over the forecast period, cafés/bars is projected to post a 2% CAGR in terms of value sales at constant 2013 prices to reach C$5.6 billion. However, both transactions and the number of outlets are set to grow by less than a 1% CAGR. More lenient legislation, similar to that implemented in Manitoba in 2013, can only brighten the outlook for cafés/bars. Although this only applies to bars/pubs requiring licenses to operate, Cafés might find that legislative change makes it viable to extend their offer to include alcoholic drinks. This concept has not taken-off in Canada, and many operators who have tried to introduce it have struggled. However, consumer behaviour is always changing and adapting to new concepts, so it might become a viable area of growth in the forecast period.
