Following a short-lived period of healthy growth in current value terms, fuelled by an enthusiastic return to pre-pandemic lifestyles, the category is expected to return to its previously declining sales trend during the second half of the forecast period. In fact, cafés/bars were already on the wane before the advent of the pandemic, thanks to a decline in the number of independent outlets.
Overall, chained cafés/bars will fare better than their independent counterparts during the forecast period, owing to the relative immaturity of global giants such as Starbucks (Starbucks Coffee France SAS) and McCafé (McDonald's France SA), as well as local chain Columbus Café (Colombus Développement, Sarl). Large chains will also benefit from the strong financial support of their parent companies, including advertising and marketing, as well as their greater agility in being able to adapt to changing consumer needs.
Craft beer concepts have been successful in recent years, thanks to the locavore trend, which promotes the consumption of locally produced food, wine and beer. Indeed, French consumers are becoming more educated about craft beers and are seeking out higher quality, premium products, in terms of colour, flavour, ingredients and origin.

Cafés/Bars
This category encompasses all establishments where the focus is on drinking (either alcoholic or non-alcoholic beverages). While a wide variety of snacks and full meals are offered, it is not uncommon for consumers to only order a drink. As a general rule, establishments deriving 50% of their income or more from the sale of drinks are included here.
