Macroeconomic stabilisation underpins a gradual recovery in hot drinks demand
The Peruvian hot drinks market entered 2025 on a firmer macroeconomic footing, with GDP growth recovering and inflation stabilising within the Central Bank’s target range. This more predictable environment supported a gradual recovery in employment and purchasing power, encouraging households to return to everyday consumption categories rather than focusing solely on essentials. In this context, hot drinks – deeply embedded in daily routines across income groups – benefited from improved consumer sentiment, both in retail and foodservice. While informality in the labour market remains high and continues to limit the speed of recovery for some segments, the overall improvement has been enough to lift confidence and sustain a more dynamic internal market for coffee, tea and other hot drinks.
