The market is segmented by type into takeaway/ delivery and dine-in in the global market and is available in coffee shops/chains, bakery shops, and others. Countries such as the U.S., Germany, China, France, Spain, and others have a significant market share. Furthermore, the rising inclination towards out-of-the-home coffee consumption has significantly contributed towards the rapid market growth. This is owing to the rapid growth in urban lifestyle in countries in the Asia Pacific and South America region.

The foodservice industry saw significant growth globally post-pandemic. There is a changing consumption pattern among individuals, and premium coffee consumption is becoming a symbol of social status among millennial consumers. The consumption of specialty cold beverages, especially drinks, such as frappes, has become a popular trend among the younger generation.

The foodservice coffee market experienced a significant decline in sales due to the pandemic due to the sudden lockdown and closing of borders that various governments imposed to contain the spread of the virus. Coffee production, import, and export significantly declined due to the declining human resources and government restrictions. The coffee industry has suffered a setback in terms of employment, earnings, exports, and domestic consumption. For instance, the International Coffee Organization report stated that in 2020, the global coffee exports in March accounted for 11.06 million bags which was 3.7% lower than the previous year.

Foodservice Coffee Market Trends

Rising Consumer Inclination toward Plant-Based Coffee Drinks

In recent years, the global plant-based products market has observed a significant growth in terms of demand among consumers. The rising awareness of the poultry industry's negative impact has been a significant factor in the growing demand for vegan products. Furthermore, the manufacturers, including startups and multinational companies, heavily invest in plant-based product innovation. The innovation has made the new generation of plant-based milk made from soy, almond, and other ingredients highly competitive with dairy regarding taste, price, and accessibility.

Foodservice coffee companies are launching new coffee drinks induced with plant-based milk to cater to the changing consumer preferences across various regions. For instance, in January 2023, Starbucks, one of the leading global coffee chains, announced its partnership with NotCo to provide plant-based milk NotMilk in its stores across Argentina. The partnership with NotCo was established to cater to the changing consumer demand and have a competitive edge in the market.

Foodservice Coffee Market Growth Factors

Increasing Number of Coffee Shops to Drive Foodservice Coffee Market Growth

There has been a significant increase in coffee shops globally in recent years. The rise in coffee stores can be attributed to the rising demand for different coffee types and increasing competition among coffee operators to expand their presence globally. According to a news release, Starbucks had opened 34,317 new stores worldwide by January 2022.

The growing number of shopping malls and suburban retail stores supports the expansion of coffee outlets in developing countries, thereby fueling the away-from-home consumption of coffee. For instance, in February 2023, Third Wave Coffee (TWC) announced the opening of its 91st store in Oberoi Mall in Mumbai, India. The profitability of coffee shops and cafes is majorly driven by consumer taste, income level, and shop location. Moreover, coffee shops are becoming more popular and eminent among urban inhabitants, encouraging vendors to develop their operations to serve industrialized countries' populations.

Increasing Coffee Consumption in Emerging Economies and Strong Interest in Specialty Coffee to Boost the Market Growth

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) 2022, Indonesia is reported to be the largest consumer of coffee, followed by China and Mexico. Coffee consumption in Indonesia has grown among consumers in recent years due to its convenience, affordability, and ability to provide alertness and relaxation.

Changing consumer lifestyles and growing income in developing countries are the main factors for consumers to purchase food and beverages from outside and thus, to drive the market growth. The increase in the number of working households, frequent family visits to restaurants, or ordering coffee and snacks from outside are the major factors which help increase the café outlet's foot traffic and restaurant revenue, positively contributing to market growth.

RESTRAINING FACTORS

Fluctuations in Coffee Prices to Restrain the Market Growth

In recent years, the rising population across the globe, high food prices, and increasing unemployment have contributed to the rising concern over food security and price volatility related to food ingredients, including coffee beans. Several other factors, such as transportation costs, storage costs, human resources costs, political environments, and various other features, have also led to a rise in the price of final products.

According to the International Coffee Organization Report 2020, the price of Colombian Milds increased by 8.6% in March and 1.8% in April. In contrast, the price of Robusta decreased by 0.9% in March and 5.2% in April.

Coffee prices constantly change and coffee is procured by professionals and vendors interested in benefiting via purchasing and marketing shares on the commodity market. This speculation is expected to drastically affect the coffee price since it artificially fudges demand and supply.

Foodservice Coffee Market Segmentation Analysis

By Type Analysis

Rising Prevalence of Takeaway/Delivery to Fuel the Segment Growth

Based on type, the global market is divided into takeaway/delivery and dine-in. Takeaway is when a consumer orders food by walking into a restaurant but consumes it at home or elsewhere. The dine-in type is when the drink is consumed in a café, coffee house, restaurant, bakery, or others.

The takeaway segment accounts for a major share in the market owing to the rising prevalence of ready-to-drink and fast-service coffee chains. The demand for takeaway has increased post-COVID-19 as the pandemic forced restaurants worldwide to shut down their dine-in service and focus on takeout and delivery. Thus, restaurants have been promoting their offerings with ideas for takeout and delivery.

Frozen baked goods have attracted more consumers in recent years due to their taste and freshness. Frozen bread is expected to gain more traction among the other categories in this segment. These baked products consume less time for preparation and do not require thawing. This segment is expected to grow at a significant CAGR in the upcoming years.
