Decaffeinated or roasted coffee market in Portugal, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Portuguese decaffeinated or roasted coffee market showed steady volume growth, supported by rising consumer demand for premium, organic, and sustainably produced coffees. The entry of approximately 20 new companies between 2019 and 2021 increased market competitiveness. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 shifted consumption towards home use, particularly for whole bean coffee, which stabilized overall market volume.

Market volume declined in 2021, although its value increased, indicating a shift towards higher-priced products. A sharp expansion followed in 2022, with volume surging by 49% to 62 258 t. This growth was driven by the implementation of clear regulatory standards for decaffeinated coffee, including mandatory labeling under Decree-Law no. 78/2013, and the continued dominance of capsule coffee, which represented over 60% of the coffee market.

In 2023, market volume contracted to 46 304 t, while market value rose to $559.8 million, reflecting sustained demand for premium and organic decaffeinated options and an industry focus on quality and innovation. The market maintained its role as a significant exporter of roasted coffee, with leading companies leveraging distinctive production methods.
