Retail volume sales of tea and coffee witnessed stronger growth in 2022 as Tanzania started to recover from the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. An uptick in economic activity and the ongoing expansion of the affluent urban middle-class have continued to underpin sales growth, while investment in infrastructure has underpinned improvements in the distribution of hot drinks.
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic was less severe on tea than it was on coffee. This was a reflection of the higher popularity of tea among local consumers in comparison with coffee.
Tanzania has a strong hot drinks culture, with tea at the forefront of demand. This is arguably due to the strong cultural influence of its substantial South Asian population.
Hot drinks are generally taken in the morning for breakfast, especially tea and other hot drinks. As such, they compete with light maize porridge, Uji, which is also typically consumed for breakfast, is cheap and widely available.
As the distribution of most fmcg, including hot drinks, takes place by road, the significant improvements that have been seen in Tanzania’s road network over the past decade have made a huge difference to the operations of players within hot drinks by making most of the main cities easily accessible. However, access to many rural areas of the country is limited to dirt roads, which are often impassable for extended periods during the rainy season.
Hot drinks is expected to enjoy healthy growth in both retail and foodservice volume terms in Tanzania over the forecast period. Rising demand among local consumers is set to be underpinned by population growth and an increase in disposable income.
