Coffee Creamer Production in the US industry analysis

Coffee drinkers have been adding creamer to their coffee for decades, with the market for creamers staying stagnant with little change to what consumers could try. But, changing consumer preferences have wholly changed market dynamics in the industry in recent years. Consumers' strengthening appetite for creamers got an unexpected boost from the COVID-19 pandemic. Coffee consumption at home rose as consumers avoided coffee shops, while others sought comfort in experimenting with indulgent coffee drinks – leading to higher creamer sales. Creamer sales settled in 2021 as out-of-home coffee consumption recovered, but inflation impacting shoppers' wallets has encouraged some consumers to cut back on coffee shop visits. But high inflation has also been challenging – producers are paying for more inputs, with shoppers rethinking spending on specialty options. In all, industry revenue has been expanding at a CAGR of 3.3% to an estimated $4.3 billion in 2023, when revenue will jump an expected 1.4%.Evolving consumer preferences are shifting what coffee drinkers find in the creamer aisle. Creamer producers have introduced new varieties catering to more defined consumer markets. Consumers' health perceptions have brought a growing number of less-produced, natural creamers to shelves – most options available a few years ago were oil blends lacking any real cream. Plant-based creamers are the fastest growing product line, as consumers concerned about their health and the environment alter their buying behaviors. While coffee drinkers excited about new releases drive sales, creamer producers face a more competitive, saturated market, making capturing market share and strengthening profit more challenging.New interest in the coffee creamer market invigorating growth in recent years will subside moving forward, but the upswing of innovation won't. Creamer producers will continue investing in new, exciting creamers catering to consumers' changing shopping behaviors. Cooling inflation could benefit creamer producers moving forward since shoppers can dedicate more money to creamers when essential items are less expensive. Still, a potential recession and the resumption of student loan payments could shrink the food budgets for millions of consumers, making consumers more price-sensitive. Coffee creamer producer revenue is expected to increase at a CAGR of 0.7% to $4.5 billion over the next five years.

Trends and Insights

  • Coffee drinkers’ evolving preferences have transformed the coffee creamer market. Changing tastes have encouraged producers to offer innovative options, with an uptick in at-home coffee consumption behind fast-growing sales.
  • Grocery shops are the largest retail channel for creamer producers. Coffee drinkers buy the most creamer from regional supermarkets, but health perceptions are bringing more younger consumers into natural grocers.
  • The Great Lakes is a dairy production hub. Industry clusters in the region provide creamer producers access to existing infrastructure, skilled labor and distribution networks.
  • Coffee drinkers will look past price when buying creamer. Cost influences purchasing decisions, but consumers will pay for a brand offering the taste, quality or ingredients they value.
