The global instant coffee market is on track to achieve significant growth, with projections indicating a value of USD 35.97 billion and a volume of 1.91 million tonnes by 2023.

Understanding Instant Coffee:

Instant coffee is produced by removing most of the water from brewed coffee, resulting in a product that requires no chemical alteration. Unlike more expensive Arabica coffee beans, instant coffee is often made from Robusta beans.

Market Segmentation:

The global instant coffee market is segmented based on type, packaging type, distribution channel, and application.

Type: The market includes four segments: roast and ground, soluble, ready to drink (RTD), and portioned. Roast and ground coffee accounted for approximately 34% of the market in 2021, driven by health benefits associated with vitamin B3 found in roast and ground coffee powder.
Packaging Type: The market comprises four packaging segments: jar, pouch, sachet, and others. The jar segment held over half of the market share in 2021, while pouches are the fastest-growing segment during the forecast period due to cost-effectiveness.
Distribution Channel: The market is divided into offline and online segments. Offline channels dominated in 2021, but online channels are growing rapidly due to convenience and attractive discounts.
Application: The market includes commercial and residential segments. Commercial establishments such as offices, restaurants, and cafes accounted for approximately 77% of the market share in 2021.

Geographic Coverage:

The global instant coffee market is categorized into five major regions: Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and the Middle East and Africa. Asia Pacific holds the largest market share, driven by the economic growth and expansion of India and China, two of the region's fastest-growing economies.
