Japanese media: Chinese young people are fastidious about extravagance and like to go to fashionable cafes to pursue high-priced beauty
For these petty bourgeoisie, going to a fashionable coffee shop has become a typical behavior to show their light extravagance.
Japanese media reported on December 13 that competition among Chinese coffee shop chains is becoming increasingly fierce. Starbucks Coffee of the United States, the world's largest coffee shop chain, has proposed to open 3400 stores in China by 2019, which will become the country with the largest number of Starbucks overseas stores.
Meanwhile, local Chinese companies such as Pacific Coffee are catching up by developing localized menus such as oolong tea lattes, Nippon Keizai Shimbun reported on December 11. Due to China's economic slowdown and anti-corruption campaign, high consumption is weak, and coffee shops are popular among young people as a "light extravagant" consumption pattern. Companies believe that the potential demand in this area is huge, so they are speeding up the pace of opening stores in China.
Xiao Qi, 26, works for an IT company in Shanghai. He is used to going to Starbucks by himself once a week because "the environment of McDonald's is very noisy and the table is not clean, so it is more leisurely here." In a quiet space, it is a pleasure for him to sit on the sofa while reading while drinking coffee.
Xiao Qi's monthly income is 15, 000, which is far higher than the average salary of about 5400 yuan in Shanghai. A Starbucks latte costs about 30 yuan, and if you order some desserts and biscuits, it usually costs about 100 yuan, which is five times the cost of a normal lunch. But Xiao Qi thinks: "as long as you feel happy, you don't think it's too expensive."
With the development of China's economy, the per capita GDP of Shanghai and other major coastal cities is even equivalent to that of developed countries, reaching 15000-20, 000 US dollars. Against this background, there are more and more "petty bourgeoisie" young people who prefer the European and American way of life, unlike their parents who like to be lively. For these petty bourgeoisie, going to a fashionable coffee shop has become a typical behavior to show their light extravagance.
To this end, various coffee chains have accelerated the speed of opening stores in China. Starbucks has opened about 1600 stores in about 90 cities in China, making it the largest coffee shop chain in China. Starbucks is not only entering big cities, but also expanding the number of stores in local cities. Starbucks plans to open 1800 new stores in China by 2019, with a total of more than 3400 stores in China. This figure is far less than the model of Starbucks' 12000 stores in the United States, but it has the largest number of stores in its overseas countries.
COSTA Coffee in the UK has merged with two local companies, bringing the total number of stores in China to 344 by 2014. COSTA Coffee has positioned China as a potential market and plans to double the number of stores to 900 by 2020. Starbucks and COSTA, whose stores are mainly concentrated in large shopping centers, have received a steady stream of invitations to open coffee shops, which are an important element of attracting customers to commercial facilities, according to people involved.
China's local enterprises are also actively fighting. The price of coffee offered in the store is basically the same as that of Starbucks. Hong Kong's Pacific Coffee has partnered with China Resources Wanjia to open about 260 stores. And usually open on the first floor of the office building and hospitals and other people flow more "the best location". Pacific Coffee plans to open 1000 stores as soon as possible.
In addition to general drinks such as coffee lattes, Pacific Coffee features "national wine coffee" with high-grade liquor and "oolong tea lattes" made with Yunnan tea and milk. The menu also includes traditional Chinese snacks such as zongzi. Pacific Coffee hopes to differentiate itself from Starbucks with food and drinks in line with Chinese eating habits.
Senna left Bank International Restaurant, the largest coffee chain in mainland China, has opened 340 "SANA ZOAN" coffee shops and further expanded its store network through listing financing. South Korea's Man Coffee operates about 70 "MAAN COFFEE" and is stationed in Beijing's Aeon Shopping Mall, which opened in September 2015, centering on coastal cities to speed up the opening of new stores. The goal of Man Coffee is to open 3000 stores within 10 years.
