Chicory Root Coffee Global Market Report 2026

Chicory root coffee is a beverage prepared from roasted and ground chicory roots, either consumed on its own as a coffee alternative or mixed with conventional coffee to modify flavor and lower caffeine levels. It is recognized for its deep, slightly bitter flavor profile and is widely enjoyed for its potential digestive-supporting properties and naturally caffeine-free nature.

The primary product types of chicory root coffee consist of instant chicory coffee, roasted chicory coffee, blended chicory coffee, and other product types. Instant chicory coffee is a caffeine-free coffee substitute produced from processed chicory root that can be easily dissolved in hot water for convenient preparation and consumption. It is offered in forms such as powder, granules, and liquid ready-to-drink formats and is distributed through supermarkets or hypermarkets, online stores, specialty stores, and other sales channels. These products are utilized across food and beverage, dietary supplements, pharmaceuticals, and other applications, serving end users such as households, foodservice providers, and industrial users.

Tariffs are influencing the chicory root coffee market by increasing the cost of imported chicory roots, flavoring ingredients, packaging materials, and beverage processing equipment required for chicory coffee production and distribution. This is impacting supply chain efficiency and raising product pricing, particularly across instant chicory coffee, blended chicory coffee, and liquid ready-to-drink segments that depend on imported raw materials and processing technologies. Regions such as Europe and Asia-Pacific are most affected due to strong reliance on chicory cultivation, processing, and export activities. Distribution channels including supermarkets, specialty stores, and foodservice providers are also facing margin pressures due to fluctuating trade costs. However, tariffs are also promoting domestic chicory cultivation, regional supplier diversification, and investments in local beverage manufacturing capabilities, supporting long-term supply chain resilience and regional market expansion.

The chicory root coffee market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $1.05 billion in 2025 to $1.15 billion in 2026 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.2%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to increasing awareness of the benefits of reducing caffeine intake, rising consumption of herbal and functional drinks, growing availability of chicory-based products in retail outlets, expanding adoption of coffee substitutes in the foodservice sector, and increasing consumer focus on digestive wellness products.

The chicory root coffee market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.65 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing innovation in flavored and blended chicory coffee products, rising demand for plant-based and natural beverages, expansion of online distribution channels for specialty drinks, growing investments in organic chicory cultivation and processing, and increasing adoption of ready-to-drink chicory coffee beverages. Major trends in the forecast period include rising demand for caffeine-free beverage alternatives, increasing popularity of digestive health-focused functional drinks, growing consumer preference for organic and clean-label chicory coffee products, expansion of ready-to-drink chicory coffee beverages, and increasing adoption of chicory coffee blends with herbs and spices.

The rising awareness of health and wellness is expected to drive the growth of the chicory root coffee market going forward. Health and wellness awareness refers to an individual's understanding, mindset, and active dedication toward maintaining and improving their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The growing awareness of health and wellness is primarily driven by the increasing prevalence of lifestyle-related diseases such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease, which has encouraged individuals to adopt healthier diets, regular exercise, and preventive healthcare practices. Chicory root coffee supports health and wellness awareness by offering a natural, caffeine-free, gut-friendly alternative that promotes healthier daily habits and preventive well-being. For instance, in 2024, according to the Global Wellness Institute (GWI), a US-based nonprofit organization, the global wellness economy expanded by 7.9% between 2023 and 2024, reaching a record value of $6.8 trillion in 2024. Therefore, the rising awareness of health and wellness is driving the growth of the chicory root coffee market.

Leading companies operating in the chicory root coffee market are focusing on the development of innovative products, such as organic and functional coffee blends, to enhance flavor profiles, support digestive health benefits, and address rising consumer demand for caffeine alternatives. Organic and functional coffee blends refer to beverages made from organically sourced ingredients and enriched with health-supporting components, such as adaptogens, probiotics, or herbal additives, to deliver additional wellness benefits beyond basic nutrition. For example, in March 2025, French Market Coffee LLC, a US-based coffee manufacturer, introduced Organic New Orleans Style Artisan Blend, an innovative chicory coffee blend inspired by Louisiana's traditional coffee culture. The product combines organically sourced Arabica coffee, roasted to a French roast profile, with Positively Botanicals' organic chicory root to deliver a smooth and bold flavor with earthy undertones and subtle sweetness. Designed to replicate the authentic New Orleans-style coffee experience, the blend offers a lower-acidity alternative to conventional coffee while maintaining a rich and full-bodied taste. The product is available in a 12-ounce format for drip coffee makers and appeals to consumers seeking sustainable, organic, and culturally inspired coffee beverages. Its formulation also caters to consumers looking for balanced flavor with reduced bitterness compared to standard black coffee blends.

In March 2025, Spadel SA, a Belgium-based beverage company, acquired a stake in Cherico for an undisclosed amount. With this acquisition, Spadel SA aims to strengthen its position in the rapidly growing plant-based and chicory-based coffee alternatives segment while expanding its portfolio of health-oriented beverage brands. Cherico is a France-based company that specializes in chicory root coffee-type drinks.
