Vietnam Coffee Market Trends

Instant Coffee is Gaining Traction in the Market due to the Rising Demand

• Busy lifestyles and longer working hours are likely to boost the convenience packaging formats of coffee, resulting in consumers switching from fresh ground coffee to instant coffee mixes across. According to Vietnam Coffee and Cocoa Association (VICOFA), in 2021, the trend of domestic coffee, such as roasted coffee beans, ground, and instant coffee, has increased sharply. Additionally, the roasted, ground and instant coffee export of Vietnam increased and accounted for 12% of the country's total export.
• Premiumization trends are expected to boost the market's growth in the country. With the increase in busy lifestyles among the millennial and working population in the country, coffee consumption among these age groups has increased drastically in the recent past.
• Moreover, due to Vietnam's abundant source of Robusta coffee, which is the primary raw material for the production of instant coffee, this country has the potential to become the world's leading producer of instant coffee. Due to this strong advantage, leading coffee producers in Vietnam are expanding their reach in the market with the introduction of new roasting and instant coffee manufacturing facility. For instance, in August 2021, a joint venture agreement was announced between agricultural commodities company Louis Dreyfus Company (LDC) and private-label coffee maker Instanta to build an instant coffee plant in Vietnam. The venture operates as ILD Coffee Vietnam, and construction commenced at the beginning of 2022. As a result of the factors mentioned above, the demand for coffee is increasing in the country.

Changing Lifestyle Highly Influencing Coffee Consumption

• Increasingly busy lifestyles and longer working hours are likely to strengthen appreciation for the convenience of this product type, which should lead more consumers to switch from fresh ground coffee or standard instant coffee to instant coffee mixes. Moreover, the category should also benefit as manufacturers continue to introduce stronger-tasting products that suit the traditional preferences of Vietnamese consumers.
• Additionally, there is a rapid shift in the consumer style of the people. The domestic coffee market is becoming more vibrant and competitive every day, especially with the investment of big companies.
• For instance, in October 2021, a new investment of USD 132 million was announced by Nestlé Vietnam to double the capacity of high-quality coffee lines at the Nestlé Tri An coffee factory in Dong Nai province. As a result of this investment, Nestlé Vietnam Co., Ltd. has made almost USD 730 million in foreign direct investment.
• Additionally, the increasing number of cafes and coffee culture in Vietnam is expected to boost the market during the forecast period. The growing interest in coffee consumption among the local population due to changing lifestyles greatly benefits the market.
