The Japan coffee market size reached USD 3.40 Billion in 2024. The market is projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.10% between 2025 and 2034, reaching almost USD 4.19 Billion by 2034.
The increasing popularity of Vietnamese Robusta Coffee among Japanese consumers is aiding the Japan coffee market expansion. This is because of its higher caffeine content (nearly 1% higher than arabica), which helps boost the energy and concentration levels of working professionals. Moreover, it also has 60% less fat and sugar content as compared to arabica coffee, which is driving its consumption among health-conscious consumers.
The sale of instant coffee has also recorded a significant surge in Japan as it has a rich flavour and taste and comes in different varieties, thereby giving consumers an option to choose from different options like Caramel Macchiato, Caffe Au Lait (bitter taste), Cafe au Lait (unsweetened), Cafe au Lait (decaf), and Cafe au Lait (regular), among others. With the rise of multiple coffee rooms and snacking cafes in Japan and evolving coffee culture, the Japan coffee market development is increasing at a healthy pace.
The increasing consumption of green coffee beans is also expected to accelerate the Japan coffee market growth. Green coffee beans are known to possess a higher chlorogenic acid content, which makes them a healthier choice as compared to roasted coffee beans. They help in weight loss, slow down ageing, keep concentration levels high, and are also beneficial for patients with diabetes and dementia. Their sustained high demand is expected to drive the Japan coffee market growth in the forecast period.
