Roasted, not decaffeinated coffee market in the Netherlands

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume of roasted, not decaffeinated coffee in the Netherlands experienced notable shifts between 2018 and 2024, reaching a high of 131 thousand tonnes in 2020. This surge was driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which closed hospitality venues and shifted consumption to homes, increasing demand for retail coffee.

Subsequent years saw the market influenced by strong trends toward specialty coffee, micro-roasters, and ethical sourcing. New entrants focusing on sustainable practices and innovative products like decaffeinated and functional coffee entered the market, while anticipation of the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) spurred purchases of compliant beans from 2022.

Evolving consumer preferences for plant-based milk alternatives and conscious consumption, alongside technological advances in coffee machines and stricter rules on reusable cups under the Single-Use Plastics directive, continued to shape supply and demand. By 2024, the market volume settled at 100.5 thousand tonnes, reflecting adaptation to these diverse factors.
