DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/j2x9nv/coffee_market_in) has announced the addition of the "Coffee Market in the US 2014-2018" report to their offering.
Coffee is one of the most widely consumed hot beverages in the world. It is produced by the brewing of processed, roasted, and decaffeinated coffee seeds. Arabica and robusta are the main coffee crops grown all over the world. The different flavors and varieties of coffee carry varying levels/percentages of caffeine. The most popular varieties of coffee include espresso, double espresso, cappuccino, café latte, café mocha, café americano, and café mexicano.
One key trend emerging in this market is the growth in online retailing, which accounted for 10 percent of total sales in 2013 and is expected to further increase during the forecast period. Consumers tend to get attracted to the wide range of products available online. Hence, many vendors are taking advantage of this opportunity to increase the sales of their coffee.
According to the report, one of the major drivers in this market is a rise in consumer income. The preference for single-serve coffee over multi-serve coffee, the presence of various coffee flavors and brands, and a growing population have increased the per capita consumption of coffee in the US.
Further, the report states that the gap in the demand and supply of raw materials is also growing because of low production, increase in natural calamities, and a rise in labor costs, making it difficult for vendors to sustain themselves in the market. An increase in the demand and supply gap of raw materials because of low coffee production, natural calamities, uncertain weather conditions and rainfall, and rise in labor costs has increased the price of raw materials. It has also led to volatile coffee pricing in the market.
