The demand for instant coffee in the Rest of Europe is also increasing at a steady rate. Especially in Poland, Russia, and Bulgaria, the rate of demand is quite high and is projected to keep on increasing in the near future. Amongst others, North America, on account of a higher preference for filter coffee, is likely to experience sluggish growth in its market for instant coffee over the next few years. The Middle East and Africa, on the other hand, will show a healthy progress in the uptake of instant coffee, upgrading its market in the years to come, notes the research study.

Changing Lifestyle of Consumers to Influence Demand for Instant Coffee

"The changing lifestyle of consumers, especially younger ones vigorously conforming .o western culture, is having a significant impact on the uptake of instant coffee, reflecting greatly on its sales," states the author of this research study. The shift in consumer preference from tea to coffee, particularly in emerging economies, such as India, China, Ukraine, and several Middle Eastern countries is, consequently, boosting the market for instant coffee considerably across the world.

Consumers, nowadays, are ever busy with their fast-paced lives and are seeking beverages that can be prepared easily in less time with no fuss. Instant coffee provides these comforts to consumers without being tough on pockets. This, as a result, has led to a rocketing demand for instant coffee across the world and the scenario is not expected to change anytime soon in the future.

Apart from this, the rise in awareness level pertaining to the harmful effects of aerated drinks is projected to fuel the consumption of instant coffee over the forthcoming years. However, the growing concerns regarding the usage of acrylamide in instant coffee, which is injurious to human health is anticipated to hamper the growth of this market in the years to come.
