YoY change in the number of cafes in Japan 2014-2023
In 2023, the year-on-year (YoY) change in the number of coffee shops in Japan was at 0.2 percent, increasing slightly compared to the previous year. With the advent of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, declining revenues and the ongoing adverse business conditions led to a decrease in the number of coffee shops operating in Japan. 2023 was the first post-pandemic year in which an increase in the number of coffee shops was recorded.
