Summary

The global coffee market exhibits a clear distinction between production and consumption. Europe emerges as the leading consumer, with Spain being a notable player particularly in decaffeinated and soluble coffee, standing as the second-largest European producer. On the consumption front, Spaniards average 3.2 kilos of coffee per year with a dominant home consumption of around 75%. The COVID-19 pandemic significantly disrupted the market in 2020, particularly affecting the HORECA channel due to prolonged closures. Despite this, home coffee consumption in Spain saw a surge of 9.13% in the same year, with a marked peak increase of 22.9% between March and June. Conversely, 2021 signaled a recovery in out-of-home coffee consumption, with a noteworthy shift in consumer preference towards coffee capsules, overshadowing the sales of soluble and blended coffee..Coffee Consumption Trends in Spain Coffee in Spain is a staple in everyday life, with its consumption woven into the social fabric of the country. On average, Spaniards consume between 3 and 4 kilos of coffee annually, with a significant portion of this, approximately 75%, being enjoyed in the comfort of their homes. This domestic preference has been prominently highlighted during the COVID-19 crisis, which saw a dramatic shift in consumption patterns due to the pandemic's wide-reaching effects. The closure of the HORECA channel (Hotels, Restaurants, and Cafés) through much of 2020, with lingering effects into 2021, has majorly shaped market dynamics. This unprecedented situation curtailed the avenues for out-of-home coffee enjoyment, an otherwise notable segment of the coffee market. Consequently, with people confined to their homes, there was a surge in at-home coffee consumption which saw a rise by over 9% in 2020 compared to the previous year. During the peak pandemic period from March to June, at-home coffee consumption experienced an even more significant increase of nearly 23%. As the country emerged from the initial shock of the pandemic in 2021, a recovery trend began to take shape with out-of-home coffee consumption regaining its popularity. However, this period also witnessed a shift in consumer preferences within the at-home coffee segment. The sales of coffee capsules experienced a substantial growth, overshadowing other types such as soluble coffee and blended coffee. Spain's role in the coffee industry extends beyond consumption. It is recognized for having a robust coffee processing industry, especially in the production of decaffeinated and soluble coffee, standing as the second largest producer in these categories in Europe, following Germany. Nevertheless, the local consumption habits and recent shifts underscore the dynamic nature of Spain's coffee market, with adaptability to consumer trends and external impacts being key to understanding present and future demand..### The Titans of the Coffee Industry: Key Market Players Shaping Global Consumption In the realm of coffee, a few illustrious entities stand out for their significant impact on global consumption patterns and production dynamics. Here we delve into the main players and the distinct roles they play in the industry. **Brazil:** The coffee colossus, Brazil leads the world in coffee production. Its vast plantations are primarily located in the southeastern states, where the climate and soil create perfect conditions for coffee growing. Brazilian coffee is widely appreciated for its chocolatey, nutty profile with a broad mix of varieties, primarily focusing on Arabica beans but also producing Robusta. **Vietnam:** As the second-largest coffee producer, Vietnam is the king of Robusta - a stronger, more bitter bean that's resilient to warmer climates and higher altitudes. Vietnamese coffee is central to the industry, providing a significant quantity of the beans used in instant coffees and various blends. **Colombia:** Famous for its high-quality Arabica beans, Colombia enjoys a reputation for producing some of the finest coffee in the world. The unique geography of its coffee-growing region allows for year-round cultivation and harvest, leading to fresh, rich coffee bearing balanced acidity and sweet notes. **Indonesia:** With its diverse climates across various islands, Indonesia produces a wide array of coffee types, including the world-renowned Kopi Luwak. Indonesian coffees often feature earthy, spicy, and complex flavors, providing a unique contribution to the global palate. **Spain:** Not traditionally recognized as a coffee-growing nation, Spain has carved out its niche in coffee processing, particularly decaffeinated and soluble segments. As the second-largest European producer in these categories, Spain showcases its prowess in the refined aspects of coffee production. **Germany:** Playing a leading role in coffee processing, particularly in Europe, Germany complements its engineering excellence with a strong presence in the coffee sector. German companies are known for innovative approaches to coffee production, contributing to the development of a variety of coffee products. As the world's second most beloved beverage, coffee thrives through a complex market structure, with varying dynamics across consumption, production, and innovation. These key players exemplify the diverse nature of the industry, each bringing their unique flavors, traditions, and expertise to the global coffee tapestry. Their influence shapes the trends, preferences, and future of coffee for consumers worldwide, be it in a traditional brewing pot or through the convenience of revolutionary coffee capsules.

Summary and extracts

1 Market overview

1.1 Definition and presentation

Coffee is the second most consumed beverage in the world after tea. Known for its bitterness, there are many types of coffee, depending on the variety (Arabica or Robusta) but also on the origin of the coffee beans and the type of processing to which they are subjected.

There is a strong distinction between coffee production and consumption on a global scale. Europe is the largest consumer market, followed by Asia and Oceania, the United States and South America. In terms of production, Brazil, Vietnam, Colombia and Indonesia represent the majority of world production.

Spain has a strong coffee processing industry in the decaffeinated and soluble coffee segments, in which it is the second largest European producer after Germany. In terms of consumption, Spaniards consume an average of 3.2 kilos of coffee per year, of which around 75% is consumed at home.

The covid-19 crisis has had a major impact on the sector with the closure of the HORECA channel, which has remained closed for much of 2020, and to a lesser extent in 2021. by contrast, coffee consumption at home grew by 9.13% in 2020 compared to the previous year, peaking at +22.9% in the period from March to June. The year 2021, however, marked a break from the previous year, with a recovery in out-of-home consumption. Capsule sales grew strongly, mainly at the expense of soluble coffee and blended coffee sales.
