Chinese Coffee Chains Shift Strategy as Cheap Pricing Loses Appeal - Class C
Chinese coffee chains are shifting away from aggressive low-price strategies as their effectiveness declines in an increasingly competitive market. While heavy discounting initially fueled rapid expansion, companies such as Cotti Coffee are now prioritizing product quality, brand positioning and customer experience.
Simultaneously, major players like Luckin Coffee and Mixue are investing in product upgrades and pursuing international expansion, targeting markets in Southeast Asia and the West. However, analysts caution that replicating domestic success may prove difficult due to higher operational costs and differing consumer preferences abroad.
In mature markets, customers tend to prioritize quality, brand identity and overall experience over price, posing a significant challenge to China’s cost-driven business model.
