In countries like China, India, and Indonesia, there has been a steady increase in the number of commercial properties in recent years. This growth is driven by the rise of start-ups and the opportunities presented by these rapidly expanding economies. There is a growing demand for large office spaces that come with modern amenities like Wi-Fi, meeting rooms, break areas, and conference rooms in these emerging nations. A recent study by MRFR revealed that the leasing of large office spaces surged from around 13 million sq. ft in 2018 to a substantial 50 million sq. ft.
In the Asia-Pacific region, particularly in developing economies, corporate offices are going the extra mile to provide attractive facilities for their employees. This includes features like games, vending machines, and modular kitchens equipped with the latest appliances such as coffee and tea machines, microwaves, refrigerators, and cooktops. These amenities are designed to cater to the needs and preferences of the workforce.
Southeast Asia has experienced rapid growth in the hospitality industry in recent years. Governments in this sub-region are actively taking initiatives to support and further boost the growth of the hospitality sector. For instance, in Thailand, the tourism and hotel industries made up 9% of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2018. With the high growth rate of this industry, there is an anticipated increase in the demand for coffee machines, especially traditional espresso machines, in Thailand and other countries in the region.
As a result of these developments, the commercial sector's expansion and the increasing number of start-ups in developing nations are expected to create lucrative opportunities for companies in the global coffee machines market in the coming years. The need for modern and well-equipped office spaces, along with the growing hospitality industry, is driving the demand for coffee machines, making it a promising market for manufacturers and suppliers. This trend is likely to continue during the forecast period, making it a favorable time for businesses operating in the coffee machine industry to capitalize on these opportunities.
