Abstract
With Starbucks' U.S. store business soft, McDonald' s rolling out its
McCafé specialty beverages concept and Procter & Gamble selling its
Folger Coffee division to J.M. Smucker, massive changes are brewing in the
U.S. coffee market, where sales surged 11% in 2007 to reach $39.5 billion.
Covering both foodservice and retail channels, Packaged Facts new report
analyzes in depth the broad and complex trends affecting this market,
including the effects of the economy, worldwide green coffee prices, changing
coffee consumption trends, competition from other beverages like sodas and
energy drinks, corporate social responsibility and health and wellness
benefits. Looking ahead, much of the growth will be coming from the specialty
coffee segment, which will continue to chart double-digit growth rates despite
the troubled economy, the report predicts, as marketers continue to focus on
specialty coffee products and as single-portion packs continue to gain ground
in the market.
Homing in on the foodservice market for java, the report examines at length
trends in coffeehouse chains like Starbucks and Caribou Coffee, quick-service
restaurants like McDonald' s and Dunkin' Donuts, convenience store chains

thoroughly examines the myriad retail channels for purchasing packaged ground,
whole bean and ready-to-drink (RTD), including supermarkets, mass
merchandisers, supercenters, warehouse clubs and convenience stores.
