Market Dynamics:
Convenience is the major factor propelling growth of the instant coffee market, as it is easy to prepare as compared to fresh coffee. The fast paced lifestyles of consumers is fuelling demand for convenient food products, which in turn, is supporting market growth. Furthermore, the longer shelf life of instant coffee as compared to the bean or ground coffee, owing to its powdered texture, is another factor, aiding in the growth of the market. Furthermore, coffee contains various nutrients, such as lipids, carbohydrates, vitamins, amino acids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids and minerals. Polyphenols in coffee, works as an antioxidants which fight against free radicals. Owing to the rising awareness regarding these health benefits, there is a growing demand for coffee worldwide.

Thus, the rising consumption of the coffee, is anticipated to support the global growth of instant coffee market, as well.
