Mixed performance in unstable economic setting
Despite economic pressures prompting cautious spending, health and premium trends continued to shape choices. Tea remained the most consumed hot drink, benefiting from its affordability and healthy image, though overall performance stagnated. Coffee recorded marginal volume growth, led by fresh formats and a surge in specialist coffee shops offering premium experiences. Instant coffee declined, but fresh beans, ground coffee, and pods thrived in retail and foodservice channels. Other hot drinks, such as flavoured powders and plant-based options, saw further declines as consumers favoured healthier alternatives. Looking ahead, premiumisation is expected to gain stronger traction among wealthier consumers, while wellness-driven demand will sustain growth in fruit/herbal tea and functional beverages. Coffee’s dynamic evolution and tea’s health halo will continue to define the competitive landscape.
