Foodservice coffee providers increasingly offer specialty coffee to meet consumer demand for premium coffee experiences, differentiate themselves from competitors, and enhance revenue opportunities while delivering superior-quality beverages. For instance, in April 2024, according to a report published by Cafely, a US-based technology company that offers a platform for managing coffee subscriptions, coffee consumption in the United States remained stable, with Americans consuming 27.3 million 60-kilogram bags in both 2023 and 2024. Therefore, the increasing demand for specialty coffee is driving the foodservice coffee market.

Major companies operating in the foodservice coffee market are focusing on innovative solutions, including proprietary technologies such as bean-free coffee, to improve quality, consistency, and sustainability while enhancing customer experience and operational efficiency. Bean-free coffee is an alternative beverage produced without traditional coffee beans, typically created using processes such as fermentation or molecular reconstruction to replicate the flavor, aroma, and sensory experience of conventional coffee. For example, in July 2024, Voyage Foods, a US-based food manufacturing company, launched its bean-free coffee, a sustainable alternative made from roasted chickpeas, rice hulls, and green tea-derived caffeine. The product is available in multiple formats, including liquid, instant, and ground options. Using proprietary technology, the offering replicates the taste of traditional coffee while delivering a stable and cost-effective solution for foodservice operators and manufacturers. Its relevance in the foodservice coffee market lies in its ability to mitigate rising coffee prices and supply chain uncertainties while supporting sustainability objectives.
