Executive summary

Consumers continue to trade up in hot drinks

Boosted by consumers trading up to premium product offerings, off-trade current value sales of hot drinks demonstrated an impressive increase in 2008. Manufacturers propelled this wave of trading-up through the introduction of new hot drinks products. Cerebos Gregg’s Ltd actively refreshed the coffee scene by launching new variants such as Robert Harris Cookies & Cream and Robert Harris After Dinner Mint. Premium hot drink products introduced across 2006 and 2007 also remained strong contributors to the robust performance of hot drinks in 2008. Premium chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks such as Nestlé New Zealand Ltd’s Nestlé Double Blend and Heaven, launched in 2006 and 2007 respectively, still reflected healthy off-trade current value growth in 2008.

Booming café culture and rising health concerns shape consumer preferences

The increasingly widespread café culture has prompted a gradual shift among consumers towards hot drinks of higher qualities and grades. Exposed to the wide variety available in the on-trade environment, particularly in specialist coffee shops, consumers have begun to develop a preference for variants such as flat white in the case of coffee. In 2008, Nestlé New Zealand Ltd continued to expand the portfolio of Nescafé Café Menu, its range of premium instant standard coffee, via the launch of new variants. As the level of health consciousness rises among consumers in New Zealand, the healthier hot drinks product offerings such as green tea and fruit/herbal are becoming increasingly popular. Green tea, known for its antioxidant content, reported robust off-trade current value growth in 2008.

Multinationals retain stronghold in hot drinks

With a stronghold in coffee and other hot drinks, Nestlé New Zealand Ltd retained its leadership position in hot drinks in 2008. Its continuous product innovation and strong brand portfolio, including Nescafé and Milo, proved to be its key elements of success. Similarly, with established brands such as Robert Harris and Gregg’s, Cerebos Gregg’s Ltd takes the second position. In New Zealand’s hot drinks scene, The Bell Tea Co Ltd is the strongest domestic manufacturer and is ranked third in terms of off-trade current value sales in 2008. In contrast to Nestlé New Zealand and Cerebos Gregg’s Ltd, the core focus of The Bell Tea Co Ltd lies in tea, rather than coffee.

Grocery retailers remain the dominant distribution channel

Supermarkets/hypermarkets continued to be the key distribution channel for hot drinks in 2008. A rise in the outlet numbers of supermarkets/hypermarkets was a contributing factor. Additionally, while on-trade volume growth in 2008 slowed down as compared to 2007, off-trade volume growth in 2008 was faster than 2007, giving grocery retailers a chance to gain growth in its performance. As the economy slows down, more consumers begin to cut down on consumption through on-trade channels such as specialist coffee shops as a cost-saving method. Consequently, the consumption level of hot drinks at home rises, boosting the performance of hot drinks in supermarkets/hypermarkets. This phenomenon also enabled other distribution channels, such as independent small grocers, to post a positive performance in 2008.

Consumers’ dependency on hot drinks encourages positive forecast

Despite the economic recession, which is likely to persist into the forecast period, a positive outlook is anticipated for hot drinks. The consumption of hot drinks, particularly coffee, is a longstanding habit for many consumers in New Zealand. Therefore, even in the face of the economic recession, consumers are unlikely to quit this habit. Interestingly, forecast period development is expected to be propelled by consumers bringing their on-trade consumption preferences into their households, with many beginning to consume increasingly sophisticated hot drinks product offerings within the comfort of their own homes.
