The global coffee pod and capsules market is projected to reach around US$ 59.1 Million by 2030, in terms of revenue, exhibiting a CAGR of 7.6% during the forecast period (2023-2030).

Global Coffee Pods and Capsules Market: Drivers

  • Increasing prevalence of single-serving coffee in households: The global market for coffee pods and capsules is experiencing a surge due to the increasing prevalence of single-serving coffee in households. Consumers are increasingly willing to invest in coffee machines in order to replicate the experience of a coffee shop at home, thus contributing to the overall growth of the market. Major players are introducing pods that are compatible with existing machines, including Nespresso, which is once again driving market growth.
  • Increasing demand of organic food and beverages: The global consumption of organic food and beverages, particularly coffee and tea, is increasing at a rapid rate due to alterations in lifestyle habits. This will contribute to the growth of the market. Furthermore, increasing awareness of the benefits of healthy food, alterations in dietary habits, and a desire to sample novel products are further contributing to the growth of specialty and organic coffee pods and capsules.

Global Coffee Pods and Capsules Market: Restraints

Wastage of plastic capsules leading to environmental damage

Environmental concern associated with the plastic capsules that end up in landfills every year, contributing to the growing plastic pollution, is expected to restrict market growth. The plastic in coffee pods takes more than 500 years to break down, releasing harmful amounts of methane gas as it does so. Thus, to tackle this issue, several new entrants are innovating sustainable packing solutions. For instance, in September 2022, Cafe Royal invented a coffee pod in the shape of a ball. This ball is coated in a thin shell made of a vegetable layer, which is 100% compostable. The product is a true zero-waste capsule.

High cost related to coffee pods and capsules

The high cost of coffee pods is one of the biggest challenges adversely affecting the overall growth of the market, as using coffee pods is more expensive than using ground coffee or whole coffee beans. For instance, Nescafe Dolce Gusto PRELUDIO costs US$ 4.85, while Nescafe Coffee Classic (a 100-gram jar) costs US$3.52. The NESCAFÉ Dolce Gusto Pod is a sophisticated extraction cell made of several components that work together to uniquely adjust the pressure to each capsule

Global Coffee Pods and Capsules Market: Opportunity

Rise in consumption of coffee pods and capsules in developing countries

The increasing consumption of coffee pods and capsules in developing countries is anticipated to offer lucrative growth prospects in the foreseeable future. For example, in recent years, the consumption of traditional drip coffee has been decreasing, while automatic espresso machines and pod and capsule machines have been steadily increasing and have gained market share, particularly in China, a predominantly tea-consuming nation.

Effective projection of recycling plastic capsules

The advent of recycling plastic capsules is projected to offer significant growth opportunities for market players over the forecast period. For instance, in 2021, Nespresso launched its first coffee capsules made using 80% recycled aluminum. These capsules were made from 95% recycled material earlier this year, in March. Further, by the end of 2021, Nespresso targets having all machines sold in this new packaging, which, in turn, will boost market growth of pods and capsules. Nestlé Nespresso S.A., trading as Nespresso, is an operating unit of the Nestlé Group, based in Lausanne, Switzerland. Nespresso machines brew espresso and coffee from coffee capsules, a type of pre-apportioned single-use container, or reusable capsules, of ground coffee beans, sometimes with added flavorings
