The growth in the working population will result in higher demand for coffee pods and other convenience products during the forecast period. The ban imposed on coffee pods in some regions owing to the harmful effects on the environment is likely to limit the growth of the coffee pods market. For instance, according to Organic Authority’s news published in October 2018, the coffee pods were banned in state-run buildings in Hamburg, Germany, in order to reduce the plastic wastage. The manufacturing of coffee pods uses an absurd amount of single-use plastic and pods are not accepted by local recycling collections, which forces the majority of them to end up in landfills creating damage to the environment. This scenario is anticipated to restraint the growth of the coffee pods market over the forthcoming years.

Therefore, the increasing consumption of healthy and organic products is predicted to propel the demand for the organic coffee market in the foreseeable future. The high cost of organic coffee is anticipated to limit the growth of the organic coffee market during the forthcoming years. The organic coffee is sold at a premium price (usually 20% more than conventional coffee). Cultivation of organic coffee is done using natural fertilizers and pesticides, which increases the overall production cost. Furthermore, the process of obtaining organic certification and inspection is costly, which adds up the additional cost of around 10-15% more than that of the conventional coffee.
