According to the "2022 China Prepackaged Coffee Market Analysis Report - Industry Panorama Assessment and Investment Planning Analysis" released by the Guanyan Report Network, since the epidemic in 2020, the coffee industry has faced a huge blow, the number of customers in the store is not as large as before, and the tide of store closures under the pressure of revenue reduction has struck. In June 2020, Starbucks announced plans to permanently close about 400 stores in the Americas over the next 18 months and cut the number of new stores planned to open this fiscal year in half to about 300. It will also restructure its operations in Canada over the next two years, including closing 200 stores. According to CCTV Financial Reports, due to the decrease in the flow of customers in stores, the british old chain coffee COSTA has now joined the "camp" of closing stores. At present, the number of COSTA stores closed in many cities in China accounts for about 10% of the national stores. Among them, all stores were closed in Qingdao and nearly 20 stores in Beijing. In this context, the coffee industry has turned its attention to prepackaged coffee, and the market is gradually hot, with prepackaged coffee sales accounting for 63.5% of overall coffee sales.
