Coffee Roaster Market Size & Trends

The global coffee roaster market size was valued at USD 1,286.2 million in 2022 and is expected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5% from 2023 to 2030. The rising demand and inclination of consumers towards the consumption of coffee across the globe is a primary factor driving the market growth. Moreover, consumers from the Asia Pacific region play a major role in the increasing consumption of coffee. In addition, the rising demand for fresh coffee is expected to fuel market growth in the coming years. As per the International Coffee Council, the preference of consumers in East and South Asia has been shifting towards fresh coffee consumption.

The COVID-19 pandemic negatively impacted various industries including the food & beverage industry. A fall in the coffee roaster industry has been observed during this period owing to a reduction in the consumption of coffee among consumers. The reduction in the consumption of coffee through the food service industry occurred due to various measures taken by the government such as the shutdown of cafes and restaurants along with maintaining social distancing due to the implementation of the lockdown. However, due to such factors, the sales of home roasters grew due to the preference of consumers to stay at home and roast their coffee. In addition, the online sale of coffee roasters also grew due to the pandemic.

The increasing number of coffee shop chains coupled with the rising trend of the culture of visiting cafés are other key factors anticipated to propel the market growth in the coming years. In addition to the rising consumption of coffee, the production of coffee has also been growing. For instance, as per the International Coffee Organization, the production of coffee across the globe has increased by 6.3% from 2019 to 2020. Furthermore, development in retail sections is also anticipated to drive the growth of coffee rosters in the residential segment.

The solubility of green coffee beans increases when it is roasted. This method also enhances the aroma and flavor of the coffee. Coffee, when roasted at the right temperature for a dedicated amount of time, provides perfect solubility that helps in achieving the right extraction of coffee. An interest in quality coffee among numerous consumers has been prompted by roasted coffee. Brewing coffee through innovative ways and experimenting with it has been made easy by coffee roasters. This has also been made more convenient to consumers by the availability of brewing and coffee machines and remains widely accessible on domestic as well as commercial platforms. Thus, the aforementioned factors are expected to boost market growth worldwide.

The growth of the global market is also attributed to the launch of new and innovative products by the key players operating in the market. The launches of products with better characteristics by manufacturers have been increasing resulting in attracting more consumers thus fueling the market growth over the forecast period. For instance, in January 2021, a new coffee roaster IKAWA Pro100 was introduced by IKAWA Ltd. The coffee roaster is easy to use, consistent, and has a capacity of 120 grams. Moreover, in May 2020 Revelation F5, a new solution for heat-circulating was launched by U.S. Roasters Corp. 

The coffee roasters produce high heat and cause an intense working environment which pushes commercial coffee shops to avoid keeping coffee roasters in their places which are anticipated to challenge the market growth over the forecast period. However, investing in the development of rosters in compact sizes equipped with advanced technology is expected to offer lucrative opportunities in the market. Moreover, establishing the presence of the company in countries with roasters in both commercial and residential applications, especially in thriving coffee-consuming regions such as Asia Pacific is estimated to provide further key opportunities to the manufacturers.

Type Insights

The hot air segment dominated the market with a share of over 42.5% in 2022. Hot air coffee roasters do not generate smoke and roast the coffee beans efficiently and evenly as it has a hot air circulation system. The coffee beans are roasted at perfect temperature due to the automatic constant temperature system of hot air coffee roasters. Moreover, various features are associated with residential hot air coffee roasters such as manual adjustment of the roasting time of coffee along with dual function for roasting and cooling coffee beans. Due to such factors, hot air coffee roasters are highly used thus contributing to the higher share of the segment.

The half hot air coffee roasters are estimated to grow with the fastest CAGR of 7.3% over the forecast period. The roasting time of coffee in half hot air roasters is shorter as the heat inside such roasters are fully utilized by circulating the heat internally. Such roasters are majorly used for both residential and commercial purposes. The consumption of coffee is significantly increasing with increasing commercial offices which is propelling the segment growth over the forecast period. In addition, the trend for consuming coffee by roasting coffee at home is growing which is further driving the growth of the segment.

Batch Size Insights

Industrial-scale roasters are used by large coffee production facilities, including major coffee brands and commercial suppliers. They are designed to handle massive volumes of coffee beans efficiently and consistently. Industrial roasters often feature advanced technologies like precise temperature control, programmable roast profiles, and sophisticated data analysis systems. These roasters have custom-built configurations to fit specific production needs, enabling high-speed and high-volume processing, while maintaining quality.

The small batch size roaster segment is expected to grow with the fastest CAGR of 9.3%. Small roasters have features such as temperature logging to record roast parameters and evaluate and analyze the type of beans used. These roasters are crucial for coffee buyers, importers, and quality control professionals to assess the potential of different coffee beans and make informed purchasing decisions. Some of the popular roasters in this batch size are the ROEST sample roaster, Ikawa Pro50 and Pro100, and Aillio Bullet R1. Digital micro-sample roasters with integrated mobile applications are gaining popularity in the market.
