Summary

In the past few years, the industry has witnessed a rising demand for disruptive and premium products, and a dozen coffee startups/D2C brands are catering to the evolving consumer taste and requirements. A rise in disposable income and a subsequent change in lifestyle have certainly driven India’s young demography towards delectable foods and beverages. But it did reach a culmination of sorts when the food craze born out of lockdown isolation peaked, and the ubiquitous digital infrastructure made it easy to buy and taste at a tap or a click. In essence, the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic has turned coffeeholics into connoisseurs with enough leisure time to experiment and compare notes, thus triggering market growth.

New trends and opportunities have also driven the D2C coffee segment in India. These include a rise in artisanal and flavoured coffee brands, a shift of traditional players into the D2C model, new-age players’ focus on enhancing the coffee experience and the emergence of subscription services. In brief, the D2C coffee market is expected to thrive in the next couple of years due to a shift in consumers’ shopping behaviour and the accelerated digitisation due to the pandemic.
