Sales growth of hot drinks boosted by the traditional popularity of coffee consumption and local production
Hot drinks in 2025 showed positive growth in retail value sales in Honduras. This is largely due to the fact that the most demanded product, coffee, registered constant price increases. International coffee prices showed volatility as a result of climate impacts, which led to a reduction in production volumes in important producing countries such as Brazil and Vietnam. This effect was also reflected in higher retail prices in the local market. Despite this, consumers were not willing to give up consuming the product, which is deeply rooted in the country's culture. Nevertheless, many consumers began prioritising value brands, those on promotion or available in smaller, more affordable packaging. Honduras is one of the economies with the highest poverty rates in the region. According to data from the National Institute of Statistics (INE), almost 63% of households live in poverty. Therefore, prioritising lower-cost options is a regular practice for a large proportion of the population.
