International Coffee Day: A snapshot of coffee production and global trends

International Coffee Day is observed on October 1st to honor one of the most popular drinks in the world.

In addition to being a daily ritual, coffee is a multibillion dollar industry that provides jobs for millions of people worldwide.

The “bean belt,” which includes Ethiopia, Brazil, Vietnam, and Colombia as the top producers, provides the majority of the world’s coffee. With 40% of the world’s coffee produced there, mostly from Arabica and Robusta beans, Brazil commands a large share of the market.

But the issue of climate change is becoming more pressing; it is reducing crop yields and forcing farmers to use sustainable farming practices.

With more than 34,000 locations worldwide, Starbucks continues to be a dominant force in the premium coffee and digital convenience sectors.

With plans to source all of its coffee responsibly by 2025, Nestlé, which dominates the instant coffee market with its Nescafé brand, is leading the way in sustainability. Due to their superior blends and dedication to ethical sourcing, Italian companies such as Lavazza and Illy are becoming more well-known.

Leading coffee company JDE Peet’s is emphasizing innovation, especially in ready-to-drink coffee and environmentally friendly packaging.

The growing demand for coffee worldwide is a result of shifting consumer tastes.

As consumers’ concerns about sustainability grow, specialty coffee and cold brew drinks are becoming more and more popular.

Through 2028, the coffee industry is predicted to grow at a steady rate, with an approximate yearly growth rate of 4%.

It’s evident that coffee is more than just a beverage as we commemorate International Coffee Day—it’s a global economic force that influences consumer behavior and spurs innovation.

Happy International Coffee Day!
