Coffee is one of the most widely consumed beverages globally. Robusta and arabica are the two primary species of coffee that are cultivated commercially. Robusta coffee beans have higher caffeine content than arabica and produce a stronger, more bitter taste. Arabica coffee beans have less caffeine and deliver a milder and sweeter flavor. Vietnam and Brazil are among the leading producers of robusta beans while Colombia and Brazil are major exporters of arabica coffee. With rising health-consciousness, changing tastes and preferences of consumers, and the growing coffee shop culture, the demand for high quality robusta and arabica coffee beans is expected to continue growing in the foreseeable future.
Market Dynamics:
Some of the key factors driving the growth of the global robusta and arabica coffee beans market include increasing population, changing lifestyles, rising disposable incomes, and growing coffee shop culture globally. The improving economic conditions across developing regions are enabling more people to spend on high-quality specialty coffee. The rising western influence and coffee consumption habits among youth worldwide is also supporting the market growth. However, volatile coffee prices owing to unstable climatic conditions, high labor costs involved in coffee production, and challenges faced by small producers are some of the major factors restraining the market growth. Adoption of organic and sustainable farming practices as well as the development of new coffee flavors and products present significant opportunities for market players. Innovation in coffee techniques and introduction of cold brew, pour over, and nitrogen-infused coffee are expanding the addressable market.
