An integral part of the Australian tourism and hospitality industry, the number of cafes and coffee shops in Australia has steadily increased over the last few years and are predicted to reach nearly ten thousand businesses by financial year 2020.
Sector revenue and economic benefits
Cafes and coffee shops took in just over eight billion Australian dollars in revenue during the financial year 2017. Additionally, it was predicted that in the same year, the total value added to the Australian economy was in the region of 1.5 billion Australian dollars. This was forecasted to increase by a small amount for the financial year 2019 to 2020.
Australian coffee consumption
Domestic consumption of coffee in Australia has steadily reduced from a peak of 1.79 million units during financial year 2016. The most popular type of coffee from cafes and coffee shops was latte, which accounted for 33 percent of all cups of coffee purchased during 2018, outselling other types by nine percent. The average price of a latte in the same year was 4.18 Australian dollars, making the latte the third most expensive coffee on average that could be purchased.
