Executive summary
Tea Leads Hot Drinks Growth
Hot drinks continued to grow during 2008, albeit at a slower rate than in previous years, with tea sales increasing faster than those of coffee. Kenya exports almost all of its coffee production and it is estimated that there are ten times as many tea drinkers as coffee drinkers in the country. According to experts, increased domestic consumption could help to boost domestic manufacturing and employment and a number of coffee houses, such as Savannah Coffee House, are starting to appear throughout the country.
Political Instability Threatens Growth
The Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) warned about the possibility of higher tea prices in 2008. Kenya is one of the world’s largest tea producers and political instability resulted in a 10% cut in production in 2008 which, it is feared, may result in a “tea price war” as demand outstrips supply.
Both Multinationals and Domestic Producers Prevalent within Hot Drinks
Coffee is dominated by multinationals which specialise in the production of the instant coffee brands which account for the majority of sales. However, domestic manufacturers lead sales within freshly ground coffee and coffee beans. Tea is dominated by domestic manufacturers, with KETEPA leading sales. As with coffee, other hot drinks sales are led by multinationals.
Off-Trade Outlets Continue to Dominate Sales
Whilst the majority of tea and other hot drinks sales are made off-trade, a small portion of coffee sales are made within on-trade establishments. Fresh ground coffee and coffee beans, are particularly dependent upon foodservice sales and have benefited from the increase in the number of coffee houses, such as Starbucks, in urban areas.
Supermarkets/hypermarkets such as Nakumatt and Uchumi accounted for the majority of distribution sales in 2008. Whilst larger retail outlets typically offer larger 50-200gm product formats, smaller outlets such as convenience stores and kiosks tend to offer smaller 5-50gm formats.
Increasing Diversification Fuelling Growth
FAO projections for the 2007-2017 period indicate that world black tea production will grow at an annual rate of 2% to reach 3.1 million tonnes while world green tea production is expected to grow at a considerably faster rate of 5% and reach 1.6 million tonnes. However, the situation in Kenya may be somewhat different due to the fact that low tea prices are forcing many farmers to return to subsistence farming.
A number of new players are expected to enter the segment during the forecast period and growth is likely to be fuelled by the introduction of new diverse products as opposed to increasing sales of existing products.
