A positive year for hot drinks
Sales of hot drinks continued to post steady gains in 2025. Tea remained a cultural staple, while coffee benefited from the growing focus on speciality coffee in both the retail and foodservice channels. Black tea remained widely popular but there is growing interest in flavoured options, while tea bags are benefiting from their convenience. Other hot drinks saw slightly more modest growth in 2025 which was linked to growing concerns about the high sugar content in some of these products.
