Executive summary

Increasing disposable incomes fuel hot drinks value sales

Argentina has recorded significant economic growth since 2003, when is suffered from a major financial crisis. Rising incomes have resulted in a significant increase in consumer confidence and consumption. As a result, the segment performed well in 2008 as consumers were able to devote more resources to the purchase of hot drinks. However, total volume sales actually decreased in 2008 due to the fact that a significant number of yerba mate drinkers shifted towards higher priced coffee and tea products.

Specialty products lead sales

Argentinean consumers are becoming increasingly discriminating and sophisticated as a result of rising disposable incomes and growing health awareness. As a result, specialty products led sales in 2008 due to rising demand for exotic and value adding products. An indication of this trend is the entry of Starbucks into the segment in 2008 and the increasing presence of other specialty coffee chains as well as tea houses like Tea Connection.

Molinos plans to withdraw despite increased retail value share

Molinos Río de la Plata significantly increased its hot drinks retail value share in 2008 due to its acquisition of Grupo Estrella. However, Molinos has decided to withdraw from the segment and is currently in the process of selling its new brands.

Increasing popularity of supermarkets/hypermarkets

After four years of declining popularity as a result of the 2001 financial crisis, supermarkets/hypermarkets recorded an slight increase in hot drinks distribution retail value share for the second consecutive year in 2008. Rising incomes in recent years have allowed consumers to make planned purchases on a more frequent basis. In addition, the popularity of supermarkets/hypermarkets is also increasing as a growing number of consumers realise that such outlets actually offer very competitive prices. For example, whilst independent grocery retailers were unable to absorb rising costs in 2008, supermarkets/hypermarkets were able to offer lower prices and promotions by leveraging their bargaining power with large manufacturers.

Value sales growth expected to slow

Hot drinks’ recovery from the drastic decline in demand as a result of the economic crisis in 2001 means that value growth is expected to decline over the forecast period. In addition, the expected economic slowdown will also limit growth, especially with regard to premium products.
