Roasted, not decaffeinated coffee market in Lithuania

Earlier Report Observations

The Lithuanian roasted coffee market saw its volume dip slightly in 2019 as the emerging COVID-19 pandemic prompted consumers to reduce spending. Recovery began in 2020, supported by the wider adoption of new coffee-making technologies and increasing consumer interest in high-quality, diverse flavors. This trend accelerated significantly in 2021, driven by growing health awareness and the rising popularity of decaffeinated coffee, which pushed market volume up by over 10% to 12 689 t.

In 2022, a surge in global coffee bean prices, caused by a reduced harvest in Brazil, led to a modest market contraction to 12 299 t. This was followed by a more substantial decline to 10 075 t in 2023, before a strong rebound in 2024 lifted the market to its peak of 13 665 t for the period.

By 2025, evolving consumer priorities continued to shape the market, with a pronounced focus on coffee quality, origin, sustainability, and health aspects—particularly the benefits of decaffeinated options. Simultaneously, regulatory changes regarding the tax treatment of coffee as an employee benefit introduced a new factor for businesses in the sector.
