Coffee in 2018: The New Era of Coffee Everywhere
Coffee’s growth formula shifts
The leading drivers of growth in global coffee have shifted, as emerging regions such as China, as well as emerging categories such as ready-to-drink coffee, come to the fore.
New brewed beverages drive new occasions
While ready-to-drink coffee is still a relatively small category globally, the world of soft drinks is in flux, with bottled water taking share from seemingly every other category and consumer concerns about sugar growing – this creates real opportunity for innovative beverages.
Coffee shops and food service more important than ever
Away-from-home channels have become the most important drivers of innovation in global coffee, while also creating valuable consumer relationships in an era of growing internet commerce.
The race is on to serve coffee for every occasion
There is a great deal of growth in coffee, but the sources and channels are highly fragmented, favouring those able to operate across a wide range of occasions and buying channels.
More brands needed
It then follows that more brands are needed to serve this demand, particularly with many large global brands in a state of upheaval – successful global players must become more comfortable with larger portfolios and a wider range of points of sale.
