The global roasted coffee market size is estimated to reach USD 66.41 billion in 2030, growing at a CAGR of 5.8% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report. The increasing popularity of coffee as a social beverage, particularly among millennials and Gen Z, is fostering a culture of coffee shops and cafes, thereby boosting product consumption. Moreover, health-conscious consumers are drawn to the purported health benefits of coffee, such as its antioxidant properties and potential cognitive benefits, further solidifying its appeal. As per the data published by Wisevoter in 2023, the U.S. is ranked as the top country that consumes the most coffee, i.e., approximately 26.7 million coffee bags.

Consumers are becoming increasingly discerning about their coffee choices, seeking out artisanal roasts and sustainable production methods. This trend is evident in the proliferation of independent coffee roasters and the growing popularity of online coffee subscription services. Moreover, the rise of coffee culture, with its emphasis on artisanal roasters, coffee shops, and barista art, has also played a significant role in driving demand for roasted coffee. Besides, manufacturers are maintaining their competitive edge by diversifying their product lines with specialty coffees such as single-origin, organic, and fair-trade options and expanding into new markets.

Consumers, particularly in emerging economies, are seeking out higher-quality, specialty coffees, driving demand for ethically sourced, sustainably produced beans. This trend is further fueled by the increasing popularity of single-origin coffees and unique brewing methods, such as pour-over and cold brew, which allow consumers to appreciate the nuances of different coffee varietals and roasting profiles. Moreover, the market is witnessing a shift towards premiumization, with consumers increasingly willing to pay a premium for high-quality beans and specialty roasts. This trend is evident in the growing popularity of single-origin coffees, direct trade sourcing, and specialty coffee shops that offer a wide range of brewing methods and coffee knowledge.

The Arabica roasted coffee segment held a major share of the market in 2023, owing to their generally superior taste profile characterized by nuanced flavors, lower bitterness, and pleasant acidity. Moreover, Arabica has a moderate and subtle taste and lower caffeine content.

Coffee enthusiasts are willing to pay premium prices for the nuanced flavors that Arabica coffee offers, contributing to the growth of this market segment.

The B2B segment held the largest share in 2023. B2B distributors emphasize consistent product quality, reliable deliveries, and personalized customer service. These elements contribute to building trust and loyalty with their clients over time, transforming them into long-term partners rather than mere suppliers. Online B2B marketplaces provide convenient avenues for businesses to explore a broad spectrum of coffee options and suppliers, streamlining the procurement process. This efficiency factor further drives the preference for the B2B distribution channel.

Europe accounted for the largest share of the market in 2023. This is due to the region's rich coffee culture, historical connections to coffee-producing regions, and strong demand for premium and specialty coffee. Europe's mature and well-developed retail sector ensures widespread availability of coffee in supermarkets and online platforms, facilitating easy access to a diverse range of coffee products.
