This drying method enables faster processing and larger-scale production, making it cost-effective. Coffee beans hold a significant share, especially in developing regions, supported by easy storage, transport, and improved drying technologies that enhance quality and availability.

Powders and granules dominate the market due to their versatility and ease of use in various products, enhancing nutrition and flavor in baked goods and meals. Spray-dried coffee and fruit powders further boost demand. These forms are favored in instant soups and beverages for their convenience. Meanwhile, chunks and pieces are growing in popularity for breakfast dishes, ready-to-eat meals, and snack mixes.
