Industry Background

The global awakening of health awareness has driven the number of regular exercisers worldwide to surpass 1.5 billion. Research published in The Lancet reveals that the health benefits of exercise are comparable to an annual income increase of $25,000. The functional sports drink market is rapidly expanding, with an expected size of $8.5 billion by 2025. Protein coffee and energy coffee have emerged as rising stars, becoming new niche segments within the industry. According to the latest statistics from the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, global coffee prices surged by 38.8% in 2024, reaching a multi-year high. Prices of the two main coffee varieties, Arabica and Robusta, jumped 58% and 70% respectively, with extreme weather identified as the primary driver of price increases. On the New York Intercontinental Exchange, coffee futures trading volume exceeded 8 million contracts in 2024, with speculative capital accounting for more than 40%, highlighting coffee’s increasingly prominent financial attributes.

Challenges Behind Market Prosperity

01. Severe Homogenization in Coffee Consumption
The market is flooded with coffee brands — from chain outlets to boutique shops, spanning taste to packaging — resulting in increasingly intense homogeneous competition. Faced with an oversaturated selection, consumers’ sensory experience becomes dulled, making it difficult to gain differentiated value.
02. Lack of Immediate Value Conversion in Exercise Behavior
Fitness results require long-term commitment to manifest, and this delayed gratification often leads to decreased motivation. Without immediate incentives, sustaining exercise behavior is challenging, hindering the cultivation of a healthy lifestyle.
03. Dual Demands of the Younger Generation on Health Investment
The younger generation pursues both a healthy lifestyle and opportunities for asset appreciation through their consumption behaviors. They no longer settle for mere product consumption but expect every purchase to deliver both health experiences and investment value. This balance between quality of life and financial freedom has become a core driving force in the new consumer market. Data shows that 67% of fitness enthusiasts are willing to pay a premium for “sports nutrition coffee” containing functional ingredients like BCAA or electrolytes, highlighting the immense potential of the sports coffee market. People no longer seek coffee solely for its stimulating effects but expect it to serve as a dual carrier for a healthy lifestyle and wealth growth.
