Why is Coffee Attracting VC Funding in India?

India has attracted $100 million over the last 2 years, according to data research and analysis firm Tracxn. Globally, the coffee market has grown around 2.5% to 3% year on year. In India, growth has been 10-15% with a CAGR of 8.9% from 2020 to 2025.

Here's why coffee is gaining popularity in India:

  1. Growing Coffee Culture: India is witnessing a surge in coffee consumption, especially among urban populations, driven by changing lifestyles and influenced by media/digital exposure, and increasing disposable incomes.

  2. Demographic Dividend of India: India's demographic dividend refers to its advantage of having a large working-age population relative to dependents. With over half of its population below 25 years old, India possesses a significant workforce potential, providing a crucial opportunity for economic growth, innovation, and productivity enhancement.

  3. Health Consciousness: It is a great alternative to carbonated and sugary drinks, relatively better accepted across age groups.

  4. Tech Integration: Technology has enabled companies to streamline operations leading to better and consistent experiences, making it easier for VC for large-scale up.

  5. Export Potential: India's coffee industry has significant export potential, with increasing demand for Indian coffee in international markets. This export potential makes coffee startups appealing to investors seeking global scalability.

  6. Diversification of Offerings: Coffee startups are diversifying their product offerings beyond just beverages, including merchandise, coffee-related accessories, and experiential offerings, broadening revenue streams and attracting investor attention.
