  DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/4p7kr4/coffee_and) has announced the addition of the "Coffee & Sandwich Shops Market Report 2014" report to their offering.
  This Market Report examines the UK market for coffee and sandwich shops, analysing the size of the market and trends in industry growth, the main brand competitors, field research regarding the buying behaviour of consumers engaged in the market, and current issues, trends or concerns impacting the overall marketplace.
  The report subdivides the market into two sectors of coffee shops and sandwich shops, particularly focusing on the 5-year period between 2009 and 2013, as well as providing projections for the future of the market up until 2018. Research has found that the value of the coffee and sandwich shops market has increased consistently over the past 5 years, with an estimated market growth of 7% between 2012 and 2013.
  While the economic recession was seen to have been detrimental to many consumer markets, the coffee and sandwich shops market remained resilient and competitors have increasingly expanded across the UK. With a vast proportion of outlets being located in travel locations to attract trade from a high footfall of commuters and travellers, growth in domestic train travel has driven more consumers to make purchases from coffee and sandwich shops. Some of the primary customers of coffee and sandwich shops are commuters on the way to and from work, being too busy to eat and drink in the home, as well as workers purchasing lunch from outlets located near to their workplace; thus the market can be somewhat reliant on trends in employment and rail travel.
