COVID-19 IMPACT

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

Several problems in the supply chain, operational constraints, and decreased consumer spending have plagued the market due to the pandemic, thereby hitting coffee shop sales. Lockdown and social distancing further curtailed in-store dining and minimized customer interaction, thereby affecting sales and distribution channels. Hence, due to the aforementioned restrictions during the pandemic, the demand for and selling price of coffee shops were affected. Although recovery can be expected with an improved situation, the short-term effects of COVID-19 on the global market were negative.
