Coffee is a beverage prepared from the roasted and ground seeds (coffee beans) of a tropical plant. Tea is a drink created by steeping the dried crushed leaves of a tropical plant in boiling water. Coffee serves as an energizing drink that boosts alertness, while tea is usually valued for its calming effects and potential health benefits.
The primary categories for both coffee and tea are coffee and tea. Coffee, a brewed drink, is derived from roasted coffee beans, the grains of specific flowering plants in the Coffea genus, and the berries of certain plants in the same genus. Various packaging options, such as containers, bags, packets, or pouches, are available in liquid, powder, or capsule forms. Distribution channels include supermarkets, hypermarkets, convenience stores, e-commerce, and others.
Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.
The rapid implementation of U.S. tariffs and the resulting trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a notable impact on the food and beverage sector. Rising costs for imported ingredients such as olive oil, cheese, and tropical fruits are pressuring food manufacturers to either reformulate their products or absorb reduced profit margins. Beverage producers are similarly affected, with tariffs on aluminum cans driving up packaging costs. Meanwhile, retaliatory tariffs on U.S. agricultural exports like soybeans and pork are disrupting farm-to-processor supply chains. In response, companies are adjusting recipes, increasing local sourcing, and using commodity hedging strategies to manage price volatility.
The coffee and tea research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides coffee and tea statistics, including coffee and tea industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with coffee and tea shares, detailed coffee and tea segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the coffee and tea industry. This coffee and tea research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.
The coffee and tea market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $119.99 billion in 2024 to $126.48 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increased coffee and tea consumption, increasing focus on ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, and government initiatives.
The coffee and tea market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to " $158.57 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.8%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing investments, the rising popularity of coffee among millennials, and an increasing number of coffee shops. Major trends in the forecast period include focusing on premium products, manufacturing organic products, leveraging blockchain technology, and introducing artificial intelligence to improve product quality.
The forecast of 5.8% growth over the next five years remains unchanged from the previous projection for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. This is likely to directly affect the US by raising beverage costs, as combined tariffs on Kenyan tea and Brazilian coffee strain imports, affecting retail and foodservice sectors.
The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.
The rising demand for ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages is anticipated to propel the coffee and tea markets during the forecast period. An RTD is a single-use packaged beverage that is prepared for immediate consumption upon purchase. These drinks are becoming increasingly popular among working adults due to their clean labels and functionality. The launch of new flavors in RTD tea and coffee, along with their portability and convenience, is expected to enhance the demand for these products. For example, in February 2023, Monster Beverage Corporation, a US-based beverage company that produces energy drinks, reported a 2.6 percent increase in net sales for its Monster Energy Drinks division, reaching $1.39 billion in the fourth quarter of 2022, compared to $1.35 billion in the same quarter of 2021. The growing demand for RTD beverages, including RTD coffee and tea, is expected to further drive the coffee and tea market.
The growing number of coffee shops is likely to accelerate the expansion of the coffee and tea market. Coffee shops are establishments that offer coffee and other beverages, along with food items like pastries, sandwiches, and snacks. The surge in coffee shops is fueled by various factors reflecting evolving consumer preferences and lifestyle choices. For instance, in April 2022, Restaurant Online, a UK-based company, projected the UK cafe market to grow by 14.4%, reaching £4.6 billion ($4.97 billion) in 2022, with a total of 11,132 outlets. Meanwhile, branded coffee shops and cafes are expected to see a 9.5% increase in value, rising to £3 billion ($3.24 billion). Therefore, the increasing number of coffee shops is contributing to the growth of the coffee and tea market.
Coffee companies are increasingly delving into coffee subscription services, offering consumers the convenience of home-delivered coffee products through weekly or monthly subscription models. These services open doors to a diverse array of specialty roasters, granting access to a multitude of unique products that might otherwise be unavailable locally. With the capability to source from numerous roasters, these subscriptions ensure freshness, shipping the products immediately post-roasting, thus bypassing the shelf time in stores. Notable coffee subscription services such as Atlas Coffee Club, Driftaway Coffee, Blue Bottle Coffee, JavaPress Coffee, Mistobox, Bean Box, Craft Coffee, and Pact Coffee are gaining popularity for their offerings.
Prominent players within the coffee market are directing their focus toward crafting distinct coffee blends that resonate with evolving consumer preferences. These unique blends, formed by combining various coffee beans, culminate in exclusive flavor profiles impossible to replicate through single-origin coffee. Tata Consumer Products, for example, introduced the tata coffee gold cold brew in June 2023, presenting a premium ready-to-drink cold coffee in classic, mocha, and hazelnut flavors. Brewed with cold water to preserve its smoothness, this product boasts of premium ingredients without artificial flavors. It aims to cater to consumers seeking an unmatched blend, quality, and convenience in their coffee experience, featuring low sugar content for health-conscious individuals without compromising on taste.
