The rising coffee consumption, especially among the younger generation, particularly millennials and Gen Z, is a key driver for the growth of the Europe cold brew coffee market. Compared to other beverages, coffee has additional health benefits and a strong flavour that is highly appealing to individuals. Besides, it is often marketed as a key trend of the modern lifestyle by social media influencers, further impacting its consumption and overall demand. According to the European Coffee Report (2022-2023), coffee sales in Europe grew by 2.3% year-on-year in 2021 followed by 0.9% year-on-year in 2022. This trend is expected to continue in the coming years due to increasing household as well as out-of-home consumption of coffee beverages, creating new opportunities for the cold brew coffee market in Europe.
To meet the growing demand of coffee beverages, especially the cold brew varieties, key market players are establishing new extraction plants with highly equipped machinery and equipment. This is positively impacting the supply of cold brew coffee products in the market leading to a growth in the overall sales and revenue.
UK specialty coffee roaster Origin Coffee launched its new Cold Brew Espresso Concentrate in June 2026, produced at its purpose-built Cold Brew Brewery in Cornwall. The espresso-strength concentrate is designed to be mixed with water or milk for iced or hot coffee and can also be used in drinks such as espresso tonics and cocktails. Origin developed the product in-house using controlled grinding, extraction and cold-brewing technology. The launch expands the specialty coffee segment into convenient concentrate formats for consumers and foodservice customers.
Starbucks introduced its S’mores Cold Brew in June 2026 as part of its summer beverage programme, combining Starbucks Cold Brew with marshmallow-flavoured cold foam. Starbucks Rewards members received early access from June 30, followed by wider availability from July 1. The limited-time product demonstrates continued flavour innovation within the cold brew category, with familiar dessert-inspired flavours being incorporated into cold coffee beverages. The launch also places cold brew alongside other seasonal iced coffee and non-coffee beverages in Starbucks’ summer portfolio.
Nescafé launched its first ready-to-drink Iced Latte range in the UK and Ireland in May 2026, introducing 250 ml cans in Iced Latte and Iced Caramel Flavour Latte varieties. The products are positioned as chilled, on-the-go beverages and extend Nescafé's established coffee portfolio into ready-to-drink formats. Although the launch is broader than cold brew specifically, it strengthens the wider European cold-coffee category by increasing the availability of convenient chilled coffee products through retail channels.
Nestlé expanded Nescafé Espresso Concentrate into 10 additional European markets in April 2026, covering France, Switzerland, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Spain and Portugal. The expansion followed its earlier UK and Ireland launch and offers Black, Vanilla and Caramel variants. The liquid concentrate is designed to allow consumers to prepare iced coffee at home without specialised equipment. Nestlé identified cold coffee as a key growth platform and specifically highlighted younger consumers who increasingly consume iced coffee throughout the year rather than only during warmer months.
The ready-to-drink form of coffee is gaining more importance as a means through which people consume cold brew in Europe, especially the younger demographic of consumers looking for convenient ways to do so. Bottled and canned iced coffee, high-quality cold brew coffee and nitro cold brew are noted by the CBI as some of the most important components of the growing RTD segment in Europe. Germany happens to be the biggest market of RTD coffee in Europe right now. In the United Kingdom, there has been a 37% growth in value of RTD coffee market in 2021, while cold brew was seen as one of the emerging segments. Brands are therefore expanding cold brew into cans, bottles and concentrates suited to supermarkets, convenience stores and on-the-go consumption.
Cold brew is increasingly being connected with Europe's specialty coffee culture, creating opportunities for products that emphasise bean origin, roasting quality and distinctive flavour profiles. CBI notes that Generation Y and Generation Z consumers show particular appreciation for cold brew and other RTD coffees. Although many mass-market cold brews use standard commercial coffee, specialty-focused products are emerging. Austrian company 25Grams, for example, produces cold brews made entirely from specialty coffee. Europe also had 51,042 branded coffee-shop outlets in 2025, compared with 40,675 in 2021, indicating the broader expansion of premium coffee culture that can support experimentation with specialty cold coffee formats.
Cold coffees are currently being produced with plant-based milk and proteins in order to brand cold brew and iced coffees based on lifestyles. According to CBI, European RTD coffees have been using more plant-based milk substitutes and protein for their products, especially with the need of convenience with some perceived benefits from the consumer. The Netherlands provides a useful example that the proportion of consumers drinking milk-based iced coffee increased from 10% in 2022 to 14%, demonstrating rising interest in chilled coffee beverages. This creates opportunities for cold brew manufacturers to develop oat, almond and other plant-based variants, as well as protein-enhanced formulations targeting active and younger consumers.
Premiumisation is increasingly shaping European coffee consumption, with consumers showing greater interest in higher-quality beans, specialty preparation and differentiated flavour profiles. Europe accounted for 30.7% of global coffee consumption in 2023/2024, equivalent to approximately 3.26 million tonnes, making it the world's largest regional coffee market. CBI expects European coffee consumption volumes to remain relatively stable while market value increases through premiumisation. For cold brew, this creates opportunities for single-origin beans, specialty roasts, small-batch extraction and premium concentrates. Brands can differentiate products through bean provenance, brewing methods and flavour complexity rather than competing solely on convenience or price.
Sustainability is becoming more important for cold brew manufacturers, as European coffee companies have to meet an increasing number of requirements in terms of sustainable sourcing, the environmental footprint, and traceability of the supply chain. According to the EU Deforestation Regulation, the coffee sold in Europe must be produced from lands that were not deforested after 31 December 2020, with operators required to conduct due diligence and provide farm-level geolocation information. Europe also consumed around 30.4% of global coffee in 2023/2024, equivalent to approximately 3.2 million tonnes, making the region particularly important for sustainable coffee sourcing. Cold brew brands are consequently paying greater attention to traceable beans, certified sourcing and transparent sustainability claims.
Addition of New Health Supplements is Boosting the Europe Cold Brew Coffee Market Revenue
Growing health and fitness concerns among customers is encouraging brands to infuse health supplements in cold brew coffee products, a few of which include proteins, vitamins, adaptogens, and superfoods. Their addition only caters to the growing demand for functional beverages among fitness enthusiasts but also offers a competitive advantage to the products, helping broaden the overall consumer base and drive up the sales in Europe cold brew coffee market. For instance, in April 2024, UK-based Bizzi launched its first range of ready-to-drink cold brew coffee products in signature blend and vanilla and turmeric flavours with added vitamin C, zinc, and collagen which is known for strengthening body tissues, bones, and muscles.

Their growing demand is encouraging market players to launch cold brew coffee beverages with 100% arabica coffee beans in Europe. For instance, in May 2022, Mast-Jagermeister SE launched its new cold brew coffee range in travel retail stores globally with a two-month long campaign in six European airports, including London, Rome, and Prague. The cold brew was a fusion of the original Jagermeister and intense arabica-based cold brew coffee, combining distict aroma with the health benefits of 56 natural herbs.
Alongside arabica, robusta-based cold brew coffee in Europe cold brew coffee market is also showing positive signs of growth in Europe with the development of new high-yielding robusta coffee bean varieties.
