Roasted, not decaffeinated coffee market in Austria

Earlier Report Observations

From 2019 to 2021, the Austrian roasted coffee market expanded gradually in volume, reaching 46 669 tonnes, as consumers increasingly valued quality, personalization, and sustainability. The growing relevance of Fairtrade and ethical sourcing, noted by over 60% of consumers in 2021, supported this trend.

After a contraction to 42 443 tonnes in 2022, market volume recovered to 43 699 tonnes by 2024. The rebound was underpinned by Austria's strong coffeehouse tradition and persistent demand for premium, sustainably produced coffee. Rising green coffee prices due to climatic factors and higher demand contributed to the market's value growth, which reached 425.1 million US dollars in 2024.

Recent developments include a shift towards classic brewing methods like pour-over and the use of artificial intelligence in roasting to enhance flavor profiles. These innovations, alongside enduring consumer focus on origin transparency and environmental impact, continue to shape the market.
