The world consumes at least 400 billion cups of coffee a year, and current global coffee consumption is about 10 million tons a year. Coffee is the world's top two drinks and the world's second most traded commodity after oil.

China's coffee industry is introduced and developed with the development of reform and opening up. Since the middle and late 1990s, due to China's strong economic power, people's ability to accept new things and the continuous deepening of exchanges with western countries, the coffee industry has developed rapidly and vigorously. Many chain coffee bars have entered China's major cities and have become an indispensable part of people's lives. Coffee culture has become more and more concentrated.

With the acceleration of China's internationalization process, coffee, as an indispensable international fashion drink, has shown an upward trend of 20% in China's annual consumption; China's household coffee consumption has increased at an annual rate of 40%, while annual retail coffee sales have increased by more than 25%, and continue to maintain a strong growth momentum. If every Chinese drinks half a cup of coffee a day, then the Chinese will control the price of coffee in the world.
