New Delhi, April 30,2025.
India will be among the top-five global markets for Costa Coffee, which is adding about 50 stores a year in the country as part of its expansion plans, the British coffee chain brand’s Global CEO Philippe Schaillee said on Wednesday.
Costa Coffee, now owned by beverages major Coca-Cola, is enthusiastic about the Indian market where millennials are gradually shifting towards coffee from tea.
“Today there are less than 50 million consumers who are willing to pay a premium for coffee. However, that cohort is growing massively in double digits… That’s why India is an important market for us,” Schaillee said.
