Coffee’s Next Growth Story: Where Will It Come From?

Coffee is part of everyday life for millions of people. But the next areas of growth will not simply come from selling more of the same. Whole-bean coffee, specialty coffee, cold beverages and new consumption occasions are reshaping the market. At the same time, coffee shop chains are expanding across Europe, North America and Asia, while rising costs and the need to secure long-term coffee supplies demand new answers. These ten links highlight where I see opportunities—and the challenges the industry will need to address to capture them.

The coffee market is far from saturated. Even in mature markets, demand is shifting toward products and experiences that offer consumers clear added value: better quality, greater convenience, coffee on the go or a drink for a new moment in the day. In younger coffee markets, the spread of modern coffee formats creates another source of growth.

The crucial question, however, is what kind of growth a company achieves. Higher revenue driven by price increases alone is not a sustainable growth model. The real opportunities emerge where companies create new demand, improve their operations and secure the long-term supply of coffee.
