The UAE Coffee Market witnessed a considerable growth in recent past on account of changing consumer preference and diverse population of the country underpinned by strong growth in urban population of the country and rising tourism & hospitality sector. The demand for coffee witnessed an upward growth trajectory mainly attributed to rise in demand from the urban consumers as they are more inclined towards the western culture where coffee has a higher preference.
However, COVID-19 resulted in a complete turmoil for the tourism & hospitality sector due to the social distancing measures adopted to curb the spread of coronavirus, which in turn lead to lower international visitors and shutdown of cafes and restaurants in the country. Although, the UAE Coffee Industry was suffering initially, retail sector of the country pushed the sales of coffee owing to the increasing demand from the consumers as they were spending most of their time at home during the lockdowns due to the restrictions imposed nationwide. E-commerce sector witnessed a boom in coffee sales during the year 2020. Moreover, once the lockdown was lifted, tourism & hospitality sector started to operate with safety precautions leading to influx of international visitors in the country.
According to the publisher, the UAE Coffee Market size is projected to grow at a CAGR of 8.4% during 2023-2029. Increasing influence of western culture and higher living standard in cities like Dubai, Abu Dhabi and Sharjah are also some of the major factors driving the growth of UAE coffee market. The projected growth of UAE coffee market can also be attributed to the variety of people residing in the major cities of UAE from different origins resulting in the adoption of multinational coffee chains and cafes in the country. Import of Brazilian and Ethiopian coffee is also on a rise recently owing to their higher preference amongst the international visitors in UAE.
The rising urbanization and increase in hotels, restaurants and cafes has led to a rise in Coffee Market in UAE. The growing café culture in the country and improving living standard of the UAE population has catalyzed the sales of coffee in UAE.
