Roasted, not decaffeinated coffee market in Poland

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the market volume for roasted, not decaffeinated coffee in Poland increased from 25 322 t to 35 910 t, reflecting growing domestic consumption. This expansion was supported in 2020 by the European Union's authorization of dried coffee cherry pulp as a traditional food, which broadened the range of coffee-based products available to consumers and stimulated market activity.

In the subsequent period, rising imports indicated sustained demand, with retail coffee sales growing by 4.8% in 2021. The market saw further development of the craft roasting segment, enhancing domestic production capabilities. Preparations for the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), scheduled for late 2024, began influencing supply chains by increasing traceability requirements and potentially raising costs, while global factors like climate change and higher green coffee prices exerted upward pressure on the market.

The regulatory landscape continued to evolve, with tax interpretations affecting final product prices and legislative discussions on odor emissions that could impact local roasting operations. Consumer awareness regarding coffee origin and quality also became a more pronounced factor, shaping purchasing preferences alongside these structural changes.
