The report attributes this growth to factors such as urbanization, especially in developing regions, which is boosting demand for convenient and social dining options.
The report says: “One of the most significant factors driving the market is rapid urbanization, particularly in developing countries. As people flock to cities for work and education, their lifestyles tend to change, creating a higher demand for quick, convenient, and social dining experiences.”
The report adds how cafés have evolved from simple coffee-serving establishments into bustling social hubs, offering patrons a space to work, socialize, and relax.
