The coffee capsules market is experiencing growth, driven by the increasing popularity of instant non-alcoholic beverages such as coffee in restaurants and office cafeterias. These capsules, when used in coffee machines, reduce the time and effort required for coffee preparation. The demand for non-alcoholic beverages, particularly among millennials, coupled with consumer awareness regarding low-sugar and non-alcoholic options, has contributed to the rise in instant coffee popularity. For example, a National Coffee Data Trends (NCDT) report revealed that coffee consumption among 18–24-year-olds reached 51%, surpassing the previous high of 50% in September 2020. This surge in demand for instant non-alcoholic beverages has led to increased use of coffee machines in various settings, fueling the demand for coffee capsules and driving market growth.

The coffee capsule market is expected to see further growth due to lifestyle changes. These changes encompass alterations in behaviors, habits, daily routines, and choices. Coffee capsules align with these changing lifestyles by offering convenience, quality, and variety. As reported by the Government Digital Service, 80% of individuals over the age of 18 are expected to have changed their lifestyle in 2021. This shift in consumer preferences and priorities is a driving force behind the growth of the coffee capsule market.

While coffee capsules are widely popular, coffee pods provide an environmentally friendly alternative. Prepackaged in filter paper, coffee pods offer simplicity in usage and disposal, without the plastic or aluminum packaging found in capsules. Additionally, coffee pods are more cost-effective due to the absence of plastic or metal materials. This alternative gains traction as users find it more user-friendly and less restrictive in terms of compatibility with different coffee machines. The demand for coffee pods, which are eco-friendly and competitively priced, poses a constraint on the growth of the coffee capsules market.

A notable trend in the coffee capsules market is the adoption of bioplastics and biodegradable materials for capsule production. In an effort to reduce environmental impact, companies are exploring alternatives to traditional aluminum or plastic capsules. Capsules made from biodegradable materials, such as polypropylene derived from sugarcane and sugar beet, are gaining popularity. For instance, Zarraffa’s Coffee introduced 100% biodegradable and compostable Okapi coffee capsules made from plant components. This trend reflects a commitment to sustainability and eco-friendly practices within the coffee capsules market.
