Market Trends of Global Coffee Creamer Food Industry
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Coffee Creamer Food Market according to our research experts:
Shift in consumers preference towards vegan and free-from coffee creamers
With the increasing awareness about the impact of consumption of various chemicals-based additives/ingredients via various food & beverage products, there has been increasing demand for food & beverages with clean-label claims and free-from claims. The demand for plant-based coffee creamers has significantly increased in the market as many consumers are turning vegan. The health benefits of consuming vegan products encourage consumers to choose vegan-originated coffee creamers over conventional products in the market. There is a growing demand for dairy-free creamers made from oat, almond, coconut milk, and more, especially from the younger population with an increasing lactose intolerance among consumers around the world. Thus, an increasing number of players have a broad portfolio of dairy-free creamers with innovative flavors. In 2022, Nestle launched its plant-based coffee creamer under the brand, CoffeeMate in two new flavors, French Vanilla and Caramel.
North America dominates the coffee creamer market
Due to their flavor and prolonged shelf life, coffee creamers are frequently used by consumers. As the demand for coffee beverages for household consumption rises in the area, so does the need for coffee creamer. For instance, the USDA Foreign Agricultural Services reported that domestic coffee consumption in the United States in 2020 was estimated at 23 million 60-kilogram bags, which is a bit more than the 23.58 million 60-kilogram bags in 2015. Additionally, customers are more likely to choose items with clean labels because they want to avoid coffee creamer brands that contain allergens. Purchases of items with clean labels, such as vegan, sugar-free, and other options, are driven by the rising health concerns surrounding lactose intolerance, obesity, and other chronic diseases. Owing to the demand manufacturers in the market are introducing clean labeled products into the market. For instance, in September 2020, International Delight, a Danone Brand redesigned packaging for coffee creamers with a Sugar-Free claim. The new packaging puts 'Zero Sugar' front and center of the products, making it easy for customers to notice the claim.
