Research suggests that coffee industry is expected to grow at a CAGR of 8.3% during the forecast period of 2021-2027. According to a report by Fanack, coffee consumption in the Middle East amounts to $7 billion per year, which will account for over AED25 billion, and the estimated coffee consumption per person stands at 3.5 kilos per year, which improves the prospects of new coffee brands entering the Arab market and opening new branches in Arab countries. According to figures, the UAE spends $630 million on coffee each year, which is over AED2.3 billion. The growth in the UAE coffee market is attributed to many factors, including the culturally diverse population in the UAE, which includes over 200 nationalities, which has resulted in the development of different coffee variants and launch of numerous multinational coffee chains and cafes in the nation.
