In addition, increasing urbanization in China and higher incomes have boosted the demand for industry services. Improvements in chain store and franchise management and the emergence of new brands have also supported the industry's development over the past five years.The outbreak of COVID-19 has affected the operation of cafes, bars, and other beverage stores. In 2020, the industry's revenue increased slowly compared with previous years, mainly due to the outbreak of COVID-19 in China. Although in 2021, the effective control of COVID-19 restores the rapid growth of industry income, the repeated occurrence of COVID-19 in 2022 led to the reduction of the industry growth rate again.ACMR-IBISWorld forecasts that industry revenue will increase at an annualized 16.2% over the next five years. Competition is projected to intensify as more chain stores, franchises, and independent drinking establishments are set up. Increased competition will also prompt players to look for new opportunities in less-developed regions. As a result, chain operations will continue spreading from east to west, and from first- and second-tier cities to third- and fourth-tier cities.
