Instant Coffee Market: Growth Drivers
Introduction of new flavors to expand their consumer-base
Instant coffee manufacturers are introducing new coffee flavors in the market such as mocha, green bean, Italian roast, French vanilla, ginger-bread cookie, cardamom bun and chocolate caramel, in order to expand their consumer-base. Moreover, these value-added products tend to fetch a higher margin than basic products, allowing them to increase the profitability of the manufacturers, in turn, contributing to the market growth.
Affordable and Convenient
As single-serve packets are more affordable and provide convenience to the consumers, they are experiencing a strong demand in homes, cafés, hotels and restaurants. Moreover, they allow the consumers to try out new flavors without spending on bulk packs. The consumption of premium instant coffee products is proliferating at a rapid pace in emerging markets such as the Middle East, Eastern Europe and South East Asia due to inflating disposable incomes, growing urbanization and altering food patterns of the consumers in these regions.
Instant Coffee Market: Market Restraints
High content of acrylamide
High content of acrylamide in instant coffee as compared to the other forms of coffee is a major factor hindering growth of the instant coffee market. Acrylamide is a neurotoxic and can damage peripheral and central nervous system (PNS and CNS) in both humans and animals. Overexposure to acrylamide can cause damage to nervous system and it may increase the risk of cancer. According to a study conducted by National Center for Biotechnology Information in 2014, instant coffee was found to contain 100% more acrylamide (358 mg/kg) than fresh roasted coffee. This scenario is likely to restrain the growth of instant coffee industry in the near future.

Instant Coffee Market: - Impact of Coronavirus (Covid-19) Pandemic
The impact of the COVID-19 lockdown on the instant coffee market was significant in the first quarter of 2020, but it gradually lessened in the subsequent quarters with limited impact on full-year growth. During the lockdown, while institutional sales suffered due to closed offices and public places, domestic consumption witnessed strong growth by the companies. Also, the current trend toward online shopping for at-home consumption, on the other hand, is forcing retailers, roasters, and consumers to adapt to this new reality. As a result, this factor is expected to increase global coffee consumption. Nestlé SA, for example, reported strong retail demand for food and beverage products around the world, achieving 4.4% organic group sales growth in the first quarter of 2020. Coffee sales were especially strong as people stockpiled essential items during the pandemic.
