Rising use of coffee makers to simulate a cafe experience at home to propel market growth
One of the primary aspects driving the industry is the increasing use of coffee machines to replicate a cafe-style experience at home. Furthermore, coffee use is increasing because it helps people feel less exhausted, boosts energy levels, burns fat by reactivating the body's metabolism, and improves productivity and brain functioning. This, combined with the quality, efficiency, and variety of options provided by coffee pods and capsules, is fueling the market's CAGR. Additionally, there is an increase in demand for instant non-alcoholic drinks among the public.
This, together with the expanding number of premium coffee shops around the world, is having a beneficial impact on the market. Furthermore, the widespread availability of coffee pods and capsules via online and offline distribution channels provides significant growth potential for industry investors. Aside from that, prominent industry players are developing novel coffee tastes in order to increase overall sales and profitability. They are also investing heavily in promotional activities via social media channels. Additionally, consumers who are fitness-focused must consume healthy beverages.
As a result, the demand for healthy organic coffee capsules and pods is growing among consumers, which provides manufacturers with plenty of opportunities to innovate in the coffee pods and capsules market revenue.
For instance, the Spanish coffee company Cafés Novell introduced a line of organic coffee capsules for retail coffee shops and home use in 2022. The beginning of completely compostable and 100% natural is the No Waste line of coffee capsules in the UK. Because of the growth in product innovation in organic offerings, which is consistent with changing consumer tastes and preferences, it is expected that the demand for coffee pods and capsules will rise more quickly during the projected period.
December 2023 - ATI and TIPA have disclosed a 'first-of-its-kind' completely compostable lid for coffee capsules, line up with upcoming compostability legislation, and enhance barrier protection, protection against material migration, sealing properties, and more. Supposedly, the patent-protected lidding material matches all compostable coffee filling lines, variations, and capsules, including the Nespresso system. It focuses on catering as an environmentally friendly addition to Nespresso's present compostable capsules in France and Switzerland, with TIPA establishing that 29,000 plastic coffee capsules are sent to landfills every minute across the globe.
The plant-based lid has got OK Biobased's biggest accreditation of four stars – showcasing the lowest possible carbon content of 80%, with the carbon obtained from renewable raw materials – and has been accredited by its official laboratories. It is designed to solve earlier challenges faced by producers with sustainability-minded capsule lids, such as poor sealing properties, inconsistent or non-existent flow, delamination, a lack of barrier protection, and materials moving into the beverage itself. TIPA also asserts that the lidding material can be enhanced beside the coffee grind for high extraction quality.
In the end, the lid is intended to be disposable in food waste bins as per the EN 13432 protocol. This comes in the category with the UK Plastics Pact's target of guaranteeing all coffee capsules are made with compostable materials and the Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation's mandate that coffee capsules should be compostable in nations where they can be gathered in food waste bins.
The growing consumer preference for convenience and sustainability is reshaping the coffee landscape, driving innovation in coffee pods and capsules to meet evolving demands.
