2024
Coffee production in the world grew by 6% over the year and reached 178m bags
Global coffee production reached 178 million bags in the 2023-2024 season. This is 6% more than the previous season, when the figure was about 168.2 million sacks. Such data are contained in the report of the International Coffee Organization (ICO), which TAdviser got acquainted with in early July 2025.
According to the international classification, a standard coffee bag contains 60 kg of green (unroasted) coffee beans. Thus, in the 2023-2024 season, about 10.68 million tons of coffee were received against 10.09 million tons in the previous season. The report said that despite the growth in production volumes, adverse weather conditions that were observed in 2023 had a negative impact on the industry. Because of El Niño, output declined in Asia, especially Indonesia.
It is estimated that 102.2 million bags of arabica and 75.8 million bags of robusta were produced in the 2023-2024 coffee season. Global exports of green grains increased by 12.1%, reaching 124.2 million sacks against 110.8 million sacks in the previous season. This increase was partly driven by higher global prices, which led to a decline in inventories in producing countries. Exports of green arabica increased by 15.5% to 77.3 million bags. At the same time, green robusta exports rose 7%, amounting to 46.9 million sacks, compared to 43.9 million sacks in the previous season.
Global coffee prices hit a multi-year high in 2024, up 38.8% from the previous year's average, according to the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization. This is primarily due to the deterioration of weather conditions in key manufacturing countries. Another factor in the increase in cost was the increase in transportation costs.[1]
The volume of the global coffee market reached $269.27 billion
At the end of 2024, the global coffee market reached $269.27 billion. More than a third of global revenue came from the European region. Such data are reflected in the study by Grand View Research, the results of which TAdviser got acquainted with at the end of June 2025.
Coffee is one of the most consumed drinks in the world and continues to grow in popularity, especially in emerging markets, the report noted. Consumers are increasingly favoring high-quality coffee. The leading manufacturing countries include Brazil, Vietnam and Colombia. Changing preferences of buyers have an impact on the industry: specialized coffee is gaining popularity, characterized by unique taste characteristics, precise origin and transparency of production.
It is estimated that in 2024 the largest share of revenue was provided by roasted coffee - 56.1%. This is due, among other things, to the expansion of international coffee chains such as Starbucks. Coffee sales to end consumers (B2C segment) generated 62.4% of total revenue. Geographically, 34.1% of sales came from Europe, where Germany leads. At the same time, the highest growth rates are observed in the Asia-Pacific region. Globally, significant players are named:
- Nestlé;
- Starbucks Coffee Company;
- JDE Peet’s;
- Tchibo;
- Luigi Lavazza;
- Strauss Coffee;
- The J.M. Smucker Company;
- Melitta Group;
- UCC Ueshima Coffee;
- Massimo Zanetti Beverage Group.
In 2025, coffee sales are expected to reach $284.8 billion. Analysts at Grand View Research believe that in the future, the CAGR will be 5.3%. Thus, by 2030, the volume of the industry may increase to $369.5 billion.[2]
