Global Coffee Market Enjoys Ongoing Growth Despite Pandemic
IndexBox has just published a new report: 'World - Coffee (Green) - Market Analysis, Forecast, Size, Trends and Insights'. Here is a summary of the report's key findings.
Coffee yield figures remained robust in 2020 and coffee bean exports increased, despite the disruption to supply chains caused by the Coronavirus restrictions. Home coffee consumption surged, thereby helping to offset the slump in sales following the closure of the HoReCa segment. Average coffee prices remained growing gradually through to Q1 2021.
Key Trends and Insights
Favourable weather conditions in 2020 enabled coffee bean crop figures to remain high. IndexBox estimates based on the USDA and International Coffee Organization (ICO) data indicate that global coffee production increased by +3.3% over the last year, reaching 10.5 million tonnes. According to ICO, Robusta coffee bean production fell by -2.8% year-on-year, while Arabica coffee bean output increased by +13.6%, amounting to 6.3 million tonnes and 4.2 million tonnes, respectively. Production slowed in Africa (-0.9% y-o-y) and Mexico and Central America (-0.1%), but South America indicated significant growth (+13.9% y-o-y).
Global coffee exports increased by 2.4% against the previous year, reaching 7.6 billion tonnes (IndexBox estimates). Brazil, recording a 2.5 million tonne shipments volume, continues to lead in terms of exports (IndexBox estimates).
Coffee prices, monitored by the International Coffee Organisation (ICO) Monthly Price Index, averaged 120.36 US cents/lb in March 2021, against 119.35 US cents/lb in February of this year. In 2020, average coffee prices fluctuated between 99.05-116.25 US cents/lb. Over the pandemic, coffee prices grew gradually, and this trend persisted in Q1 2021.
In the medium term to 2030, market growth is forecast to continue, bringing the market volume to approx. 12.4 million tonnes, due to rising population and an increase in disposable income (IndexBox estimates). Should the pandemic wane in 2021, and HoReCa and tourism restrictions be removed, it would promote market growth.
Brazil to Dominate the Global Green Coffee Production and Export Market
Global green coffee production amounted to 10M tonnes in 2019, reducing by -4% in 2018. In general, production, however, saw a slight expansion. In value terms, green coffee production declined to $25.6B in 2019 estimated at export prices.
The countries with the highest volumes of green coffee production in 2019 were Brazil (3M tonnes), Vietnam (1.7M tonnes) and Colombia (885K tonnes), together accounting for 55% of global production (IndexBox estimates).

In 2019, Brazil (2.2M tonnes), distantly followed by Vietnam (1,388K tonnes), Colombia (681K tonnes) and Honduras (360K tonnes) were the major exporters of coffee (green), together committing 63% of total exports.
