The Instant Coffee Market is projected to record a CAGR of 5.28% over the next five years.

The middle-class population in developing countries has a huge demand for in-home coffee consumption. Convenience in food habits and coffee consumption, in particular, gravitates consumers toward instant coffee. The versatility of the product to different consumer tastes and preferences, as well as its adaptability to be distributed through a wide range of distribution channels to aid in-home consumption, has been supporting this market growth. Major players like Nestle, Starbucks, and Unilever are launching coffee machines for a better in-home coffee experience. For instance, in November 2022, Nescafe Dolce Gusto launched Neo, the brand's next-generation coffee machines and pods. The coffee pods are paper-based and biodegradable.

Coffee is used for many daily purposes like improving energy levels, providing essential nutrients, increasing microbiome diversity, helping in reducing fat, and many more. Some people are addicted to coffee and require coffee to stay awake at work. Because of the hectic work culture, instant coffee-making machines are also available in offices, hospitals, and colleges. Because of the trend of on-the-go food, consumers prefer their coffee to be easy to carry. This is why major players are innovating sustainable and good-quality containers for coffee.

The companies are taking initiatives to protect the environment using sustainable packaging materials. For instance, in September 2021, Blue Bottle coffee, a Nestle brand, announced its commitment to achieving carbon neutrality by 2024. This includes the reduction of the emission of greenhouse gases due to products and packaging. Thus, the market is expected to grow over the long term owing to the on-the-go trend of food, high e-commerce sales, and the requirement for convenience of people.
