MERGING CATEGORY TREND

Iced Coffee Drinks are gaining momentum in France

Over the latest comparable 26-week period, Iced Coffee Drinks grew 25.6% in volume versus the same period last year.

They currently represent 3.2% of Coffee category volume in the Fyre France panel. The segment remains relatively small, but its growth makes it a useful emerging signal to monitor.

Why this matters: strong growth from a small base can highlight new consumption occasions and portfolio opportunities before they become mainstream.

FYRE TAKEAWAY

Espresso remains the backbone of the category

Espresso combines the highest unit volume with the largest share of Coffee consumption in the current Fyre France panel. At the same time, the strong growth of Iced Coffee Drinks points to a smaller but emerging part of the category worth tracking.

MARKET MIX

Three formats account for most Coffee volume

Espresso accounts for 38% of Coffee category volume, followed by Regular Brewed Coffee at 20% and Café Latte & Coffee With Milk at 19%.

Together, these three sub-categories represent the clear majority of volume in the current Fyre France panel.
