Office Coffee Service in the United States - Market Trends and Opportunities, 2015 Edition


Dublin, May 27, 2015 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/research/s2zx3h/office_coffee) has announced the addition of the "Office Coffee Service in the U.S.: Market Trends and Opportunities, 2nd Edition" report to their offering.

Convincing employers that office coffee service can increase productivity and moraleand thereby justify the cost associated with office coffee serviceremains a key to the industry's future success. But that success can also be actualized by enhancing office coffee service's health halo to leverage association with employer wellness program trends and by demonstrating to employers that keeping employees on site saves them money.

Many employees view coffee as a productivity tool and view high-quality office coffee as an important perk, but employers still pick up less than half of their workplace ground/whole bean and pod/K-Cup coffee costs. The wildcard concerns the degree K-Cups higher costs may dampen employers' decision to cover them (so far, they are more likely to cover those costs for higher-income employees); K-Cups also need to navigate increasing concerns about plastic waste, opening the door for alternative packaging and bean-to-cup office coffee brewers. But on the heels of several years of steady growth, with these factors in mind, Packaged Facts forecasts the office coffee market to grow 4.5% in both 2015 and 2016.
