Growth Factors in the North America Instant Coffee Market

• Surge in Electric Vehicle Adoption:

  The widespread drive for electric vehicles (EVs) is a major impetus for battery recycling. Millions of EVs on the road means that the flow of end-of-life batteries is only increasing. The International Energy Agency reported there were over 13% of new cars sold around the world in a recent year that were electric, driving massive demand for lithium-ion batteries. And since a high number of vehicles means higher volumes of batteries needing recycling, it is enabling recycling of batteries to reclaim valuable materials such as lithium, cobalt, and nickel. Further, governmental mandates such as the EU Battery Directive with legislative limits for recovery rates for battery metals, have emerged. Corporations like Li-Cycle are investing heavily in their plants to allow them to process thousands of tons of battery material per year and source the materials sustainably. If we viewed anything near the volume of EV uptake as an area of operation, the recycling of batteries will quickly become an important part of conserving resources and protecting the environment.

• Stringent Government Regulations:

  Governments around the world are starting to take more serious action with respect to battery disposal, causing the recycling industry to grow. Regulations such as California's Responsible Battery Recycling Act are being erected and establishing necessary take-back systems for retailers to collect batteries (thereby ensuring they will be recycled responsibly). In Europe, the Circular Economy Action Plan states that 70% of the materials contained in batteries must be recycled (which is sparking a whole host of investments in the country focusing on the recycling infrastructure) - and the reason for these regulations being established is in hopes to decrease environmental impacts from hazardous battery waste such as leaching heavy metals into soil and surface and ground water sources. There are companies that are responding to the challenge of creating take-back systems like Redwood Materials, which has additionally partnered with automotive manufacturers to fulfill these social contracts and will recycle a battery and recover precious minerals. Not only do regulations compel otherwise responsible practices in direct sustainable fashion, but they also force the companies to innovate as they must react with more efficient and timely recycling technologies for battery recycling. I would expect that these regulatory pushes and mandates will provide for a strong and sustainable platform for the battery recycling industry to develop upon.

• Advancements in Recycling Technology:

  Battery recycling is becoming more efficient at a lower cost because of new technologies that are now available. For example, technologies such as hydrometallurgy and direct battery recycling take less toll on the environment while yielding more material, such as lithium and cobalt. For example, according to Battery Resourcers their processes have identified emission reductions of up to 85% when compared to outright mining. To that end, companies such as Lithion Recycling have invested into using AI and Robotics to enhance on sorting and disassembly processes eventually providing a net increase in tons of disassembled battery materials catagorized. Additionally, Tesla has invested into Redwood Materials indicating a clear focus on next-gen recycling for lithium-ion batteries, which power electric vehicles. The amount of materials that can be incorporated into battery recycling and technological advances have led to not only decreases in costs, but increased consumer confidence as well. As the technology continues to grow, it helps support the ideologies of a circular economy, lessening mined cobalt and lithium raw-material inputs encouraging increased development of the recycling industry.

Key Trends in the North America Instant Coffee Market

• Rise of Premium and Specialty Instant Coffee:

  North Americans want access to high-quality instant coffee, and there is an appetite for more than simply ordinary instant coffee blends. As an example, brands like Starbucks and Nescafé are tapping into this trend with "better coffee" lines like Starbucks VIA and Nescafé Gold, which have flavors such as caramel latte or single-origin Colombian coffee, with barista-like flavors. Recent survey findings showed approximately 40% of U.S. coffee drinkers surveyed are willing to pay extra for specialty instant coffees that come with unique profiles. Even small-batch roasters are entering the market, with companies like Blue Bottle now selling instant espresso made from ethically sourced espresso beans. This trend to premium instant coffee products speaks to a growing interest in specialty coffee experiences for busy professionals and millennials looking for that café-quality coffee experience at home that does not need to be brewed. Specialty instant coffee products also appeal to the growing organic and fair-trade movements in the market, providing a legitimate premium option that is convenient for consumers on the go.

• Sustainability and Eco-Friendly Packaging:

  Sustainability is changing the marketplace for instant coffee in North America. Consumers are seeking eco-friendly products and, according to a report by Harris Poll and the National Coffee Association, 65% of U.S. coffee drinkers will favor brands that use sustainable practices. To address this new trend, many companies are switching from plastic to recyclable or compostable packages for instant coffee sales. For example, Nescafé's Plan 2030 outlines sustainable sourcing for coffee beans and biodegradable packets for its instant coffee line. Even small brands are looking to glass jars or paper-based pouches as more environmentally friendly alternatives. In general, instant coffee sustainability is gaining momentum as consumer awareness around immediate environmental issues is changing purchase behavior. Retailers are using a strategy with refillable Instant Stations to attract more eco-conscious consumers by minimizing plastic, low-volume waste and limiting single-use packaging for those who are more eco-savvy coffee drinkers.

• Functional and Health-Focused Instant Coffee:

  The health-focused instant coffee category is growing in popularity in North America. Brands are adding functional ingredients, such as collagen, adaptogens, or plant-based proteins, into packs of instant coffee to attract wellness-oriented customers. For instance, Laird Superfood has instant lattes with mushrooms and adaptogens that have recently increased sales by over 30% in health food retailers. Other products that are marketed toward cognitive benefits such as Four Sigmatic’s mushroom coffee appeal to ~25% of millennials looking for function. Some brands are even producing low-acid and decaffeinated instant coffee products to serve those with dietary restrictions and are continuing to introduce new social media marketing campaigns to promote the health range or functionality of products. As part of a larger movement toward health and wellness, instant coffee products are offering an easy way to deliver both flavor and health benefits to busy customers.
