Highlights
The UK branded coffee shop market has been growing strongly for many years.
Costa is the largest such chain in the UK by store count, ahead of Starbucks and Caffe Nero. Since 1999, the company has expanded into new geographical markets, but remained focused on coffee shops as its core competency rather than reaching into radically different product categories.
Lack of switching costs for consumers strengthens buyer power, threat of new entrants, and level of rivalry in the market.
