The global cold coffee market is expected to grow significantly by 2027, particularly in the ready-to-drink (RTD) segment. Cafés and roasters are expanding their offerings beyond traditional cold brew, with innovative options like flash brew, nitro cold brew, and RTD products that cater to a rising demand for convenience and quality. Younger consumers are driving this trend, with a preference for iced coffee throughout the day. RTD coffee sales have surged, and companies like Snapchill are partnering with roasters to create high-quality RTD products that maintain the integrity of coffee flavors while meeting food safety standards. Roasters entering the RTD market can diversify their revenue, attract new customers, and gain more control over the final product, ensuring a consistent quality experience.
