Hot Drinks in Uruguay
January 2022
Hot drinks in 2021: The big picture
The Uruguayan economy showed mild recovery in 2021 after deep recession in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Uruguay faces a contraction on the supply side linked to restrictions on internal and international mobility; as a result, the industry faced a shortage of raw materials in the production of hot drinks, with increased inflation in terms of transport and logistic costs.
2021 key trends
There was a continuous change in the consumption habits of hot drinks due to social distancing restrictions and the partial lockdown in the country from mid-March until April 2021 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Off-trade/retail consumption increased notably with gains in coffee and tea.
Competitive landscape
Nestlé and Canarias continued to lead coffee and other hot drinks, respectively, in 2021. Meanwhile in tea, Instituto Botánico La Selva took the lead from José Aldao in 2021, benefiting from its wide portfolio of fruit/herbal and traditional medicinal tea.
Retailing developments
The modern channel gained important ground due to the COVID-19 crisis as the main hypermarket and supermarket chains such as Ta-Ta, Tienda Inglesa, Disco and Devoto applied a strong price discount policy and increased promotions and advertising activity in alliance with beverages players.
Foodservice vs retail split
Consumer foodservice sales were significantly impacted by the COVID-19 outbreak in 2020 and many points of sale were forced to close (between 10% and 20%). 2021 on-trade/foodservice sales rebound was lower than expected as there is an underlying concern about a second wave of COVID-19 in the midterm, as well as increased focus on personal hygiene and social distancing.
What next for hot drinks?
The scale and impact of the COVID-19 outbreak are not yet clear in case new virus variants lead to slow recovery or new lockdown conditions in 2022. Although the Uruguayan economy is projected to rebound in 2021, the impact of COVID-19 resulted in 100,000 Uruguayans falling into poverty, while 7,000 people entered indigence in 2020, with many industries scaling back, resulting in an increase in unemployment and considerably lower purchasing power.
