Instant Coffee Market Analysis, Share & Trends - Industry Forecast to 2026

Instant coffee, also called as soluble coffee. It is available in the form of crystals, and powder. Instant coffee is coffee powder that is produced from coffee beans that have been brewed at a higher Coffee-to-Water ratio compared to regular coffee. Instant coffee is produced using two methods such as spray drying and freeze-drying. In the spray drying method, a spray device is used for drying the coffee extract. The device transfers hot air into the container and converts the product into fine powder. In the freeze drying method, the coffee extract is frozen at around -40 degree Celsius and then the ice particles are treated separately in evaporation and drying chambers to produce instant coffee flakes.
Despite the dominance of fresh coffee in the coffee industry, instant coffee is quickly becoming popular all over the world. Transportation of instant coffee is cheaper, as it has lower shipping weight and volume than beans or ground coffee. Moreover, instant coffee offers convenience in preparation, which increases its demand among the urban consumers.
