The UAE coffee pods market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.43%, reaching a market size of US$186.983 million in 2030 from US$136.896 million in 2025.
Coffee pods are capsules containing pre-ground coffee of varied flavor blends that assist in making an instant cup. Such capsules can fit easily with multiple coffee-making machines, are available in pre-measured coffee content, and have filters of their own. The growing number of retail coffee shops and the thriving travel and tourism are the key reasons behind the sector's expansion in the Gulf countries such as the UAE. In addition, technological advancements related to equipment and blends are driving the market growth.
In the United Arab Emirates, demand for specialty coffee is on the rise, driven by the wider selection of certified coffee products, availability of niche and sophisticated coffee varieties, innovative experiential concepts, and in-store roasting facilities. Furthermore, coffee is known to be a better alternative to carbonated soda drinks, as a result, the government took additional steps to increase duty on soft drinks being more sugared.
UAE Coffee Pods Market Drivers
The rising coffee culture in the United Arab Emirates is propelling the market expansion.
Coffee culture is gaining traction in the United Arab Emirates fueled by the growing establishment of cafes, restaurants, and retail outlets followed by rapid urbanization and improvement in living standards. Such advancements have increased the share of coffee imports in the United Arab Emirates, for instance, as per the USDA’s “Café Annual” report issued in May 2024, UAE imported 11,713 in-60 kilograms bags of coffee from India in 2022 which represented a significant growth over 2021’s import volume. The same source also specified that within four months (From October 2023 to January 2024) the UAE’s market share of import shipments increased 25% for India coffee.
Moreover, the expansion of coffee chains and the UAE's position as a key regional and global trade hub has made coffee products more accessible to consumers. The country's large and diverse expatriate population and tourists around the globe have also contributed to the heightened demand for various types of coffee. This has led to increased investments in premium coffee retail shops. Recently, Kuwait-based franchisee Pinnacle Group opened the first Toby’s Estate outlet in the UAE. Coffee chains such as Starbucks, and Tim Hortons both have three outlets at the venue, with other coffee operators including Costa Coffee, The Coffee Club, Peet’s Coffee, and Dunkin’, as well as domestic brands Coffee Planet and Common Grounds.
