Why Global F&B Giants Are Choosing India as Their Next Franchise Market
India’s food and beverage (F&B) industry is entering a transformative era - one defined not just by rising demand, café culture, and evolving consumer preferences, but by a dramatic surge in global F&B brands entering the country for the first time.
With a young population, expanding middle class, and increasing appetite for global flavours, India offers a rare combination of scale, spending power, and market readiness. This has placed the country firmly on the radar of international café chains, dessert brands, QSR innovators, and specialty food concepts.
India’s F&B Boom: Why Now?
India's F&B sector is experiencing unprecedented growth driven by urbanization, lifestyle upgrades, and an evolving palate for global cuisines. Demand for branded, hygienic, standardized dining formats is growing outside metros too, making Tier-2 and Tier-3 cities equally lucrative.
Key Trends:
- Strong café culture driven by Gen-Z & Millennials
- Shift toward branded QSR and premium dessert cafés
- Rising franchise-driven expansion across India
- Preference for global flavours and experiential dining
- High ROI potential for organised F&B models
This momentum creates a fertile ground for international brands looking to scale through franchising.
The Global Brands Entering India
Five global brands — Stellarossa, Cinnzeo Bakery, Yogurt Factory, Doner Shack, and Coffeeshop Company — are at the forefront of this movement, each bringing distinct formats, global credibility, and strong franchise potential.
Stellarossa (Australia)
Stellarossa is one of Australia’s well-known café chains, celebrated for its handcrafted coffees, modern café culture, and welcoming neighbourhood-style spaces. With a strong reputation in the Australian market, Stellarossa is now expanding beyond its home turf — and India is a strategic part of its global vision.
Why Stellarossa Is Significant:
- Known for premium brews and an elevated café experience
- Offers flexible store formats suited for both metros and emerging cities
- Strong operational systems and menu adaptable to Indian taste profiles
The brand’s entry into India is timely: café culture here is booming, and consumers are actively seeking global coffee experiences that deliver both authenticity and ambience. Stellarossa brings exactly that — supported by a robust, franchise-friendly business model.
