DESCRIPTION HEADLINES KEY EXTERNAL DRIVER Coffee Industry Description • The Arabica blend generally tends to have a richer flavor and is considered to be of higher quality, compared with Robusta. • Additionally, Arabica coffee is typically found in a majority of gourmet and imported coffees, such as Colombian, Ethiopian, Kenyan, Costa Rican and other high- quality coffee imports. Comparatively, the Robusta blend is considered to be of lower quality and is used in most instant, soluble and canned coffee products sold in supermarkets and grocery stores. DESCRIPTION HEADLINES KEY EXTERNAL DRIVER Headlines In US • • In 2014, retail volume sales of coffee in the US increase by 1%, whilst retail value sales increase by 6%, to reach 800,730 tonnes and US$12.8 billion, respectively Fresh ground coffee pods continues to lead value growth, with retail value sales up by 32% to reach US$4.0 billion In Canada • • In 2014 retail sales grow by 19% in current value terms and 4% in volume terms to reach C$2.3 billion and 81,000 tonnes Fresh ground coffee pods posts the fastest retail current value sales growth of 47% in 2014 DESCRIPTION HEADLINES KEY EXTERNAL DRIVER Table 1: Retail Sales of Coffee by Category: Value 2009-2014 DESCRIPTION HEADLINES KEY EXTERNAL DRIVER Key External Drivers • Demand from grocery wholesaling – The Coffee Production industry is highly dependent on demand from downstream suppliers, such as grocery wholesalers, which provide coffee products to supermarkets. • World price of coffee – The world price of coffee determines coffee producers’ costs and profitability because coffee beans are a key input commodity in coffee production • Demand from supermarkets and grocery stores – Coffee producers rely on favorable supply-side contracts with downstream markets, such as supermarkets and grocery stores. DESCRIPTION HEADLINES KEY EXTERNAL DRIVER Coffee Bean Price Coffee Bean Price Sugar Price Key External Drivers • World price of crude oil – Most of the Coffee Production industry’s key inputs, including coffee beans, are sourced from globally-based coffee bean harvesters. As oil prices increase, the fixed costs from transporting and distributing coffee or acquiring input commodities, such as coffee beans, also rises, hampering industry revenue. The world price of crude oil is anticipated to decline in 2015. • Trade-weighted index Or Canadian-dollar effective exchange rate index – As the US dollar appreciates relative to other currencies, coffee becomes less expensive for domestic consumers to purchase from global coffee producers, which intensifies competition for industry operators. Due to the United States being the world’s second- largest coffee importer, the value of the dollar significantly affects demand for coffee. – As the Canadian dollar appreciates, coffee and tea produced by domestic manufacturers becomes relatively more expensive for global consumers, which hampers global consumers’ demand for industry products. DESCRIPTION HEADLINES KEY EXTERNAL DRIVER Industry Performance Major Products & Markets Industry Performance Current Performance In US : Current Performance In Canada : Products In US: In Canada: Major Products In US Ground roasted coffee – Ground roasted coffee has traditionally been the largest product segment within the industry, accounting for an estimated 73.6% of revenue in 2014. – This product segment is comprised of specialty and traditional ground roasted coffee, which are expected to account for 37.5% and 36.1% of revenue, respectively. – Specialty ground roasted coffee includes ground espresso beans, among other specialized coffee products, in a range of flavors. Within this market segment, consumers are increasingly favoring specialized ground roasted coffee instead of traditional ground roasted coffee. – This segment is anticipated to continue to decline slowly due to consumers increasingly preferring to freshly grind their coffee when preparing it at home. Markets US Market: Canada Market: Major Markets In US • Consumers aged 60 and older – – – About 76.0% of people that are 60 years or older consume coffee daily. In 2008 (latest data available), 76.0% of this age group consumed coffee on a daily basis, which shows a stable market. This demographic will slightly expand their coffee consumption in future years, driven by an increasing number of baby boomers. Notably, only 6.0% of Americans that are 60 years or older consumed espressobased beverages and 24.0% of this market segment preferred gourmet varieties of traditional coffee. Major Markets In US • Consumers aged 40 to 59 – – – This age group has the second-highest proportion of coffee drinkers in the United States. According to the National Coffee Association’s National Coffee Drinking Trends survey, about 69.0% of people aged 40 to 59 consumed coffee on a daily basis. Comparatively, in 2008 (latest data available), 66.0% of this demographic consumed coffee on a daily basis. During the past five years, this market segment has slightly curbed their demand for coffee products, which can be attributed to growing competition of alternative caffeinated beverages. Major Markets In Canada • Grocery stores and supermarkets – – • Grocery stores and supermarkets make up an estimated 42.1% of industry revenue. Over the past five years, the number of grocery stores and supermarkets in Canada has declined, which has allowed this major market to strengthen its ability to negotiate low cost coffee and tea products. Exports – – – In 2014, industry exports are expected to account for 40.7% of industry revenue. In particular, Canadian tea and coffee producers derive a significant share of industry revenue from exporting products to the United States, Australia, Japan and the United Arab Emirates. (e.g. Canadian coffee and tea producers derive a significant share of export revenue from re-exporting industry products after the coffee beans are roasted and ground. ) Over the next five years, exports are anticipated to account for a larger share of industry revenue, in line with growing global demand for coffee, particularly from the United States, which will prompt demand for re-exported industry products. Major Companies In US: In Canada: Company Shares of Coffee:% Retail Value 2010-2014 Comparison of Market Cap Among Major Competitors Market Share Concentration Level (Concentration in this Industry is High) • The top four players in the Coffee Production industry are estimated to account for 84.1% of total industry revenue in 2014. Comparatively, market share has steadily increased since 2009 due to rapid growth among the industry’s key players. • Market share will increase over the next five years, as key players continue to innovate their products, build strong brand loyalty, implement marketing campaigns, conduct joint ventures with other key players and diversify their product portfolios with specialized coffee products, such as coffee with sustainable coffee beans. • Smaller players will focus on niche markets, supplying specialty high-value products that have shorter production runs and lower volumes.
