Executive summary

Coffee drives hot drinks performance

Coffee volume sales accounted for over three quarters of hot drinks sales in 2008. It is the preferred hot drink and widely available in every off-trade channel in Guatemala. On-trade consumption was boosted by the recent coffee shop fad that is sweeping the country’s urban areas. Diversity of prices and product presentations continue to make coffee the most popular hot drink.

Coffee shops boost domestic consumption

Whilst five years ago “speciality coffee” was regarded as a distant notion, the coffee shop fad has hit Guatemala, and notably. In 2008, it was not uncommon to see long lines of eager consumers form in parking areas of Café Barista, a local coffee shop chain. The same was true for most other coffee shops in the country’s urban areas. Eight different major companies are making strong efforts to lure consumers into their trendy coffee shops. The three biggest players have over 50 stores in Guatemala. A coffee shop’s average price for a 12 fl oz coffee cup is GTQ20. Recent reports by the national coffee association ANACAFÉ and other organisations estimate that local coffee shops demand 5-7% of the national coffee production.

Segmentation is key

The hot drinks market has started to realise that the key to success lies in market segmentation. Coffee manufacturers offer a wide variety of options, from everyday instant coffee to export quality fresh coffee (ground and beans). Tea companies are also paying attention to market segmentation, especially promoting their products as alternative medicine and healthier hot drinks. Several companies are including this type of information on the product’s packaging – “To relieve insomnia”, “Digestive”, “Laxative”, “Relaxing” are some of the words used in tea’s recent product packaging.

Shifting product distribution

Supermarkets/hypermarkets accounted for nearly one half of off-trade hot drinks distribution. Offering a wide variety of brands, presentations and prices, they represent a growing and preferred channel for the majority of consumers in urban areas and main cities, where most of the population is concentrated. However, independent small grocers, or tiendas, was the major channel with just over one half of total hot drinks sales, but this share has been dwindling amidst the rapid modern channel expansion of supermarkets/hypermarkets which can offer better product selection and price based on economies of scale.

Overall performance expected to be moderate

Hot drinks’ key driver, coffee, is a rather mature category, growing steadily but without huge spikes in growth. Hot drinks’ overall performance in the forecast period is expected to be moderate and likely to benefit from an increase in domestic consumption of coffee, which is growing thanks to the popularity of coffee shop chains. Overall volume increases will be modest, while there are still opportunities for value growth through higher value goods and product segmentation to capitalise on growing disposable incomes and socio-political stability in Guatemala.
