Key Trends in the Market

Coffee is a dark brown, slightly bitter, and acidic beverage that has an invigorating effect due to its caffeine content. The beverage is prepared by infusion and decoction of roasted ground or crushed seeds also known as coffee beans. Coffee is often prepared with prepared creamers, sugar, and milk, among others to enhance the flavour of the beverage and for masking the bitter taste.

• Increased availability of high quality, artisanal, and ethically sourced coffee is boosting the Germany coffee market demand. Artisanal coffee beans undergo minimal grinding and roasting in order to ensure that the tones, aroma, flavours, oils, and the natural sweetness of the beans remain intact.
• Rising health consciousness among the German population has boosted the demand for healthier coffee options including functional coffee blends containing antioxidants and vitamins, low acid coffees, and decaffeinated variants, among others. Shifting preference of the consumers towards organic coffee owing to the benefits offered by the product including increased energy levels and fat burn is further supporting the market expansion.
• The adoption of coffee pods and capsules in Germany is increasing due to their ability to easily produce coffee with consistent flavour and high quality. Additionally, they are easy to use, convenient, affordable, and require less tidying up, boosting their demand from both commercial and residential sectors.
