π Market Research
During the period from 2017 to 2020, overall sales of dairy-free milk alternatives in the U.S. grew 61 percent, with almond, coconut, and soy milk being the most popular types. As stated above, about 56% of Americans consume coffee regularly. As could be expected, older Americans drink the most coffee. 61% of Americans 45-60 drink coffee on a daily basis, while 74% of Americans over 60 drink coffee daily. However, the boom in the coffee industry could be largely credited to the increasing number of young adults who drink coffee. Over the past five years, coffee consumption for 18-24-year-olds rose from 26% to 37%.
