Market Growth Factors

The US coffee market growth is primarily driven by increasing consumer demand for specialty coffee, characterized by premium, high-quality, and ethically sourced products. Millennials and Gen Z consumers are particularly influential, preferring artisanal and craft coffee options that emphasize transparency, sustainability, and direct trade. For instance, Reborn Coffee plans to open over 100 franchise locations across the US by 2028, reflecting the surge in specialty coffee shop growth. Moreover, home brewing equipment like pour-over kits and espresso machines are empowering consumers to make specialty coffee at home, further stimulating growth.

Another significant growth factor is the rising health consciousness among consumers. There is a notable increase in coffee products incorporating functional benefits, such as probiotics, adaptogens, and immune-boosting ingredients. The market is witnessing a shift toward plant-based milk alternatives like almond and oat milk, as evidenced by Minus Coffee’s launch of a bean-less instant vanilla oat milk latte in January 2025. Consumers are also gravitating toward unsweetened and naturally flavored beverages, cold brew, and nitro coffee due to their softer taste profiles and lower acidity. This health-focus drives innovation in clean-label and organic-certified products, with brands emphasizing ethical sourcing to appeal to health-conscious buyers.

The expanding on-the-go (OTG) culture in the US is another key driver, reflecting busy lifestyles demanding convenient coffee solutions. Ready-to-drink (RTD) products, single-serve pods, and capsules are gaining popularity due to their ease of use and quality. For example, Diamond Brew introduced a "brewless" coffee in August 2024, delivering barista-grade coffee without brewing. Coffee shops increasingly offer grab-and-go options, and the rise of vending machines and mobile ordering enhances accessibility. This convenience trend is complemented by innovations such as drive-thru coffee shops, mobile ordering services, and the growth of coffee subscriptions, all boosting the US coffee market expansion
