Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/28/2014 -- Fresh ground coffee pods continue to be one of the fastest-growing areas of hot drinks packaging, almost entirely due to the continued success of Keurig brewers. Keurig brewers use a combination of thin wall plastic along with an integrated internal filter in the coffee brewing process. However, the pods, commonly known as K-cups, are considered a secondary packaging by Euromonitor International, with the primary packaging being the folding carton container sold at retail outlets. Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is the parent company that produces Keurig single-serve brewing machines. Keurig brewers only recently became popular in the US, as evidenced by the staggering 1,005% growth rate over between 2007 and 2012. In 2012 alone, retail volume sales of Keurig brewers increased by 37% to reach sales of 9.2 million units. Due to this impressive growth, Keurig has established itself as the single-serve brewer in the US, quickly distancing itself from its competitors, which include Senseo by Sara Lee, Tassimo by Kraft Foods and Nespresso and Dolce Gusto by Nestle.

Industry Prospects

Fresh ground coffee pods will continue to be an incredibly fast-growing and increasingly influential category in hot drinks. With an increasing number of K-cup brewers being introduced to the market, numerous consumers who were unable to previously purchase K-cup brewers will soon find it in their price range. In addition, various established coffee ground manufacturers have already put forward K-cups, and more will likely be introduced in the forecast period.
