Coffee consumption in India 2016/2017-2023/2024

Between 2023 and 2024, coffee consumption in India amounted to over one million bags, each weighing 60 kilograms. This marked an increase from the previous year. On a global scale, coffee consumption for the same period was over 170 million 60-kilogram bags. The European Union and the United States were the largest consumers, contributing significantly to this volume.

Coffee production in India

India’s coffee production has been on the rise, with an estimated output of over 374 thousand metric tons in the fiscal year 2024. This growth was largely driven by the southern state of Karnataka, which accounts for the country's largest share of coffee production. The Indian coffee landscape is dominated by Robusta beans, while Arabica coffee, known for its mild brews, constitutes a considerable portion with a production volume of over one million bags of 60 kilograms during the 2022/2023 season.

Coffee retail

Tata Consumer Products, a market leader in India’s tea and coffee beverage sector, witnessed steady growth in the coffee retail market through its subsidiary, Tata Coffee. This growth trajectory is amplified by Tata Coffee’s collaboration with Starbucks Coffee, which is expanding its retail presence across the country. Meanwhile, Continental Coffee Limited, the world’s largest private coffee label, has ventured into the business-to-consumer (B2C) segment in India.
