Coffee Substitutes Riding on the Coattails of the Pervasive 'Health and Wellness' Trend

The cut down in the consumption of coffee can be primarily attributed to a radical change in the dietary habits of consumers. The 2015-2020 Dietary Guidelines for Americans (DGA) stated that, consuming high amounts of coffee can prove to be harmful to health, as it can cause headaches, anxiety, or restlessness in less severe cases. A caffeine overdose can cause diarrhea, chest pain, or uncontrollable muscular movements in serious cases. The DGA also states that, consuming caffeine regularly may prove to be dangerous for pregnant and lactating women. Increasing awareness about the harmful effects of caffeine on health and the rising number of health-conscious consumers is causing a major plunge in the consumption of coffee, worldwide.

It is likely to act as a driver for the growth of the coffee substitutes market in the near future. Coffee substitutes imitate coffee but contain zero amounts of caffeine. Consumers across the globe, who are health-conscious and willing to avoid coffee, are shifting to coffee substitutes. Steady growth of the coffee substitutes market can identify as a great opportunity for coffee substitute manufacturers to target a larger consumer base. Leading players in the coffee substitutes market are adopting strategies to spread awareness about the adverse effects of coffee, and health benefits of coffee substitutes to boost sales.
