Coffee Concentrates Market Expected to Reach $3.6 Billion by 2032—Allied Market Research

According to a new report published by Allied Market Research, titled, “Coffee Concentrates Market," The coffee concentrates market was valued at $2.2 billion in 2022, and is estimated to reach $3.6 billion by 2032, growing at a CAGR of 5% from 2023 to 2032.

Coffee concentrates is a highly concentrated form of brewed coffee that undergoes a specialized production process to extract maximum flavor and caffeine content. The production typically involves coarsely grinding coffee beans and steeping them in cold or hot water for an extended period, often ranging from several hours to overnight. This slow extraction process allows the water to absorb the soluble compounds from the coffee grounds, resulting in a dense, concentrated liquid.

After steeping, the mixture is filtered to remove the grounds, yielding a thick, concentrated coffee solution. Cold brewing methods tend to produce a smoother and less acidic concentration compared to hot brewing methods, which impart a richer flavor profile. The concentrates is then diluted with water or milk to achieve the desired strength and flavor, making it versatile for various coffee-based beverages such as iced coffee, lattes, and espresso-based drinks. The high concentration of coffee concentrates allows for longer shelf life and easier storage compared to regular brewed coffee, making it a convenient option for both home and commercial use.

The shift toward home brewing and do-it-yourself coffee experiences has significantly surged the coffee concentrates market demand. As consumers increasingly seek to replicate the cafe experience in the comfort of their own homes, coffee concentrates offer a convenient and versatile solution. With coffee concentration, individuals easily create a wide range of coffee-based beverages, such as lattes, iced coffees, and even specialty drinks, without the need for expensive equipment or extensive barista skills. This trend has been accelerated by the COVID-19 pandemic, which prompted many to limit their visits to coffee shops and explore alternative ways to enjoy high-quality coffee at home.

Even though coffee concentrates market have experienced rapid growth, there are certain factors which hamper the growth of the market. Extreme weather changes such as drought, frosts, and pests significantly damage coffee crops, which reduces production and disrupts timely supply of coffee beans to the market, which creates challenges to produce coffee concentrates products. For instance, in November 2021, global coffee prices surged due to challenging conditions in Brazil, including drought, frost, and unusual weather patterns. This trend continued into 2022, with a 14.8% increase in coffee product prices observed in grocery stores.  The increased risk of adverse weather conditions poses a threat to crucial coffee supplies from these areas, thus contributing to supply shortages and fluctuations in prices of coffee beans used in coffee concentrates production. These uncertainties affect the quality of coffee concentrates and hinder potential investments & expansion efforts in the industry, thereby impeding the overall coffee concentrates market growth.

The adoption of coffee concentrates by foodservice and hospitality industries has significantly expanded the market opportunities, which is expected to boost demand in the coffee concentrates industry. One key factor driving the adoption of coffee concentrates products in food service and hospitality sectors is demand for efficiency and consistency in serving high-quality coffee beverages. Coffee concentrates offers a convenient solution for businesses in these sectors, allowing them to streamline their operations by eliminating the need for complex brewing equipment and reducing preparation time. With coffee concentration, establishments easily prepare large batches of coffee ahead of time, ensuring rapid service during peak hours without compromising on taste or quality. This efficiency translates into cost savings for businesses and enhanced customer satisfaction due to shorter wait times and consistently delicious coffee, which has thus helped to boost the coffee concentrates market share in the coming years.
