Tea accounts for almost half of all hot drinks volume sales, and it is important for manufacturers to ensure continued interest in the sector. Manufacturers have recently been working together to grow and extend the sector via product innovation, packaging updates, and new launches. Tea prices have stabilised and it is once again an affordable product for the mass consumer.

Distribution favours supermarkets/hypermarkets Volume sales of hot drinks in South Africa in 2005 continued to be dominated by off-trade sales. Not only is off-trade deemed more affordable by a larger portion of the population, but it also caters to consumer needs on a more regular basis. Off-trade retail outlets retail outlet n → punto de venta retail outlet n → point m de vente retail outlet retail n → also offer consumers a wider range of products. Supermarkets/hypermarkets remained the dominant distribution channel for hot drinks in 2005. This is largely due to the large variety of brands available and the price competitiveness of these outlets. Good years ahead, especially in retail outlets Demand for hot drinks over the forecast period will increase, with retail volume sales expected to outperform those of the review period. Higher disposable incomes will be the main driver of growth, although consumers will also enjoy slightly lower prices as competition increases, especially in retail outlets. On-trade sales will lag behind somewhat; most consumers will prefer to consume at home, although the nascent growth in coffee shops will continue.
