Drivers of the Instant Coffee Market:

Projections indicate that India's middle class will nearly double, reaching 61% of its total population by 2047, up from 31% in 2020-21. This growth is attributed to ongoing political stability and economic reforms, with an expected annual growth rate of 6% to 7% over the next 25 years, positioning India as one of the largest markets globally.

Instant coffee's ease of preparation, precise measurement, and widespread availability make it an ideal choice for coffee enthusiasts worldwide. Additionally, it serves as a versatile ingredient in baking, often found in cakes, ice cream, chocolates, and liquors.
