Earlier Report Observations
Between 2018 and 2020, the Croatian roasted coffee market's physical volume contracted from 15 091 tons to 13 682 tons. Industry focus shifted toward premiumization, which cushioned the decline in retail value. From 2021 onward, climate change started impacting global coffee availability and costs, pushing market value upward despite uneven volume movements.
In 2022, soaring coffee prices—driven by climate-related supply shortages, higher production expenses, logistics bottlenecks, and new tariffs—curbed domestic consumption, further reducing market volume. Concurrently, rising consumer preference for quality and natural ingredients fueled growth in specialty and decaffeinated coffee offerings.
The period 2023‑2024 saw stricter regulations on decaffeination chemicals and EU-wide labeling rules for food products, altering production standards. Major players such as Nescafe rolled out new strategies to attract younger drinkers, while climate disruptions in key growing regions and global logistics woes maintained price pressure, lifting market value to 176.3 million USD in 2024 as volume modestly recovered to 14 162 tons.
