Coffee Price Dip and What It Means for Instant Coffee Buyers

The global coffee market, which saw Arabica futures nearing $4.24 per pound in early 2025, is now cooling off. Recent data shows a moderate retreat—an 11.8% monthly drop in the ICO Composite Indicator Price in July, with Arabica averages down 10–12% and robusta down nearly 15% .

Even this week, Arabica futures dropped further—now at $3.60–$3.80 range per pound, down 1–2% from the day before. A surge in Brazilian harvests and supply surplus drove this trend, alongside tariff concerns easing.

So, what does this mean for buyers of freeze-dried instant coffee?

Better Acquisition Costs

Lower raw bean prices likely mean lower production costs. Richfield’s efficient flash-extraction (capturing the best 18% of the bean) and long freeze-drying cycle reduces loss, making it possible to deliver premium flavor at better value.

Market Expansion

With the global instant freeze-dried coffee market estimated at $15 billion in 2025 and growing steadily at a 5% CAGR , now is prime time to expand product offerings using high-quality, reliable suppliers like Richfield.

Consistent Quality

Richfield maintains quality through controlled production—no compromise on aroma or taste, even when cost structures shift.

In short, this moment of falling coffee prices is a rare window. Buy now, secure flavor, and align with a brand like Richfield that offers both value and luxury.
