Moreover, manufacturers are introducing innovative product offerings, such as the development of single-serve packaging and ready-to-mix sachets, which is propelling the instant coffee market size.

Increasing Focus on Health and Wellness

The industry is expanding because consumers are becoming concerned about their health and placing more emphasis on wellness and health. People are seeking coffee products that offer additional health benefits such as those containing functional components like vitamins and minerals. This is driving the demand for coffee products that contain ingredients like green tea extract, ginseng, and guarana on account of their health benefits. Apart from this, rising cases of obesity and diabetes among individuals worldwide is catalyzing the demand for green coffee owing to its ability to enhance metabolism and support weight management. In addition, top producers are emphasizing the launch of goods made with natural and healthful components in an effort to reach a larger audience and increase their instant coffee market revenue. For instance, on 21 September 2023, the Devon-based Little’s unveiled a new Limited edition pumpkin spice instant coffee for consumers.

Expansion of Distribution Channels
