Price hikes continue to influence sales of hot drinks in France
Hot drinks in France continued to record positive retail value sales, while volumes fell in 2025 due to price pressures. Coffee remained the largest category, driven by a strong café culture and engrained consumption, although French dissatisfaction with price hikes persisted. Fresh coffee beans was the most dynamic performer, supported by sustainability trends and local roaster popularity. Tea also posted solid value growth, with green and fruit/herbal tea benefiting from a health and wellness positioning. However, inflation, supply chain pressures, and packaging costs continued to challenge the industry. Looking ahead, retail value is set to further rise, while volumes will further fall, reflecting ongoing price increases and cautious consumer spending. Sustainability, transparency, and premiumisation particularly in fresh coffee beans will shape future demand.
