Why Cafe Show Vietnam?
Cafe Show, Asia No.1 Coffee Event
Cafe Show was launched in 2002 in Seoul and has steadily grown to establish a firm foothold in Korea and Asia coffee market since then. Seoul Int’l Cafe Show is now well known as the biggest scale among the specialized coffee events in Asia region and gaining the reputation as ‘Asia No.1 coffee event’.
Also featured in Seoul Int’l Cafe Show is World Coffee Leaders Forum(WCLF), which aims to share the knowledge and ideas of current coffee industry. As sharing invaluable insight of global coffee celebrities through WCLF, Cafe Show is indubitably becoming the World’s top trade show which leads the present and even the future of global coffee industry.
Especially in 2017, Seoul Int’l Cafe Show is hosting World Barista Championship(WBC) and going to gather world’s coffee lovers as well as 60 national representative baristas all together. This is a truly meaningful achievement to whole Asia coffee industry, not only to Cafe Show themselves or Korea alone, since it has been 10 years since WBC was held in Asia in Tokyo, Japan for the first and last time.
Why Vietnam?
Other than the excellence of Cafe Show brand, one of the main reasons for global coffee businesses to participate in Cafe Show Vietnam is from the potential of Vietnam coffee consumption market.

-It is also reported by International Coffee Organization(ICO) that during four-year period from 2012/13 to 2015/16 crop year the compound average growth rate(CAGR) of Vietnam’s coffee consumption was estimated at 8 percent, which was the third highest rate among coffee exporting/importing countries following Turkey(10.4%) and Philippines(8.9%).
–The increase of Vietnamese demand on coffee is affecting the retail market as well. During 2012-2016, Vietnam was ranked at 4th place among the world’s fastest growing coffee retail markets.
2. Vietnamese coffee consumption habit
– Euro Monitor expects retail sales of coffee to grow a further 6.5 per cent a year until 2022.
–The number of coffee shops in Vietnam was predicted to increase to around 14,000 stores in 2022 that may cause competitiveness for both present chains and new enters.
– 50% of Vietnamese people consume coffee regularly, which was higher than the figure of any other beverages, according to Statista. This means, in return, Vietnamese’ regular coffee consumption stimulated their demand for quality coffee, and the surge of specialty cafe derived from it.
