A Taste of vietnam
Global Coffee Consumption Trends & Opportunities for Vietnam’s Private Label Products
Global Coffee Market Overview
Over the past decade, coffee has evolved from a daily commodity into a symbol of lifestyle, personal taste, and global culture.
According to the International Coffee Organization (ICO), global coffee consumption reached more than 170 million 60-kg bags in the 2023–2024 season and is expected to continue growing at an average rate of 2.5–3% per year until 2030.
Key drivers of this growth include:
  • Urbanization and changing lifestyles across Asia, the Middle East, and Latin America.
  • The expansion of global coffee chains like Starbucks, Tim Hortons, JDE, and Luckin Coffee.
  • A shift in perception: coffee is now seen as a personalized experience, not just a beverage.
In countries like China, India, Indonesia, and Vietnam, the expanding middle class has created a new wave of consumers willing to spend more on high-quality, specialty, and traceable coffee.
