Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the Irish roasted coffee market was shaped by the expansion of the specialty coffee segment and a growing number of independent cafés, supported by both local and international players. However, in 2020, pandemic-related restrictions led to a drop in wholesale orders and forced industry adaptation, causing the market value to fall to 55.5 млн долл.

A strong rebound followed in 2021, with the market surging 40% to 77.7 млн долл., driven by heightened consumer demand for quality-focused specialty coffee and roasters' investments in modern equipment. Growth continued through 2023, reaching 89.5 млн долл., partly because significant increases in green coffee prices due to climatic and geopolitical factors raised product costs, while local roasters strengthened their position through artisanal roasting and traceability.

By 2024, the market stabilized at 87.9 млн долл. despite ongoing global supply chain pressures, including continued high raw material costs and logistics disruptions such as the Red Sea closure. Irish roasters kept investing in advanced equipment and developing specialty coffee offerings to meet sustained consumer preference for high-quality, personalized products.
