HOT DRINKS IN AUSTRALIA -


INDUSTRY OVERVIEW
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Café Culture Continues To Support the Growth of Hot Drinks in Australia


Australia’s growing café culture remained a positive driver of hot drinks in Australia in 2018.
This culture is not only seeing consumers enjoy coffee and other hot drinks in cafés, but also
looking to recreate the café experience at home. This trend is supported by the growth of
products that allow consumers to create café-quality drinks conveniently at home.

Premiumisation and Health and Wellness Key Trends in Hot Drinks


Café culture is having a direct impact on hot drinks by encouraging the growth of more
premium products. Health and wellness is a trend that is often intertwined with premiumisation,
with products that are positioned as healthier alternatives often using more premium or natural
ingredients. Growth in premiumisation is also being encouraged by the growing maturity of the
hot drinks industry. Within coffee, this is seen in the decline of instant coffee and the growth of
more premium coffee products, such as fresh ground coffee pods and organic fresh coffee.
Within tea, the premiumisation and health and wellness trends are reflected in the strong growth
of other fruit/herbal tea.

Nestlé Australia the Leading Player in Hot Drinks 2018


Nestlé Australia continues to be the largest player in hot drinks by value share in Australia,
with the company seeing its largest share within other hot drinks and coffee. Within coffee, the
company remains the leader in fresh ground coffee pods and instant coffee, with both of these
categories supported by the trend of Australians seeking to make coffee conveniently and
quickly at home. Within other hot drinks, the company dominates malt-based hot drinks with its
Milo brand. This iconic Australian brand was used as inspiration for the launch of the Milo
Frothycino in June 2018.

New Product Developments Focus on Premiumisation, Indulgence and


Health and Wellness
New product developments within hot drinks were influenced by inter-related trends, namely
consumers searching for more premium products in the form of healthier alternatives for
everyday consumption and more indulgent drinks that can serve as a treat. Other hot drinks saw
new product developments in 2018 after not experiencing new product developments for a
number of years. New product developments that focused on indulgence included Nestlé
Australia’s Fantales and Jaffas hot drink powders, while those that focused on health and
wellness included Avalanche 99% sugar free drinking chocolate with coconut. These trends are
expected to endure and influence new product developments in the future.

Hot Drinks To See Recovery in Volume Growth


Hot drinks will see recovery in off-trade volume growth over the forecast period. While coffee
will see relatively stagnant growth in the off-trade, on-trade volume sales of coffee are expected
to see strong growth as café culture becomes further ingrained into everyday life. In off-trade

value, coffee will see an improved performance over the forecast period as unit prices edge up
despite the continuation of promotional pricing. Tea will see a slower volume decline over the
forecast period than over the review period and much healthier off-trade value growth as
premiumisation continues to impact tea in Australia. Other hot drinks will see growth, likely
driven by the growing premiumisation and new product developments.

COFFEE IN AUSTRALIA - CATEGORY


ANALYSIS
HEADLINES

 Coffee records 1% off-trade volume growth and 2% off-trade current value growth to reach
AUD1.3 billion in 2018
 Fresh ground coffee pods records the strongest growth within coffee of 9% in 2018
 On-trade volume growth of coffee exceeds that of off-trade in 2018 due to the strong café
culture
 Nestlé Australia continues to clearly lead coffee in Australia with a 47% off-trade value share
in 2018
 Coffee to record a 4% off-trade current value CAGR (2% CAGR at constant 2018 prices) and
a negligible volume CAGR over the forecast period to reach sales of AUD1.6 billion in 2023

PROSPECTS

Australia’s Growing Café Culture Impacts Instant Coffee


Although instant coffee still accounted for more than half of overall coffee off-trade volume
sales in Australia in 2018, its share of overall off-trade coffee volumes declined year-on-year
throughout the review period. The decline of instant coffee in Australia is related to Australia’s
burgeoning coffee culture. For example, consumers are looking to make café-style coffee at
home using fresh coffee beans or fresh ground coffee pods or consumers are purchasing coffee
from cafés. Research company Indeana completed a study for Lavazza Australia, with the
results released for International Coffee Day in 2017. This study found that those living in
Sydney purchased 4.41 cups of coffee a week on average, while those living in Melbourne
purchased 3.91 cups a week on average. Over the forecast period, volume sales of instant
coffee are expected to remain in decline, while fresh ground coffee pods and fresh coffee beans
are expected to record growth as Australia’s coffee culture further develops.

Consumer Demand for Ethical and Sustainable Coffee Continues To


Grow
In line with the growing ethical living trend, more consumers are showing concern about the
sustainability of their coffee products. For example, Euromonitor International’s Global
Consumer Trends survey 2017 found that Fairtrade was an influential beverage product feature
for 11% of Australians. Nespresso’s coffee ambassador Mitch Monaghan was quoted in trade
press “Appliance Retailer” as stating at a panel discussion in Sydney hosted by Nespresso that,
“We know there is a real appetite for what businesses are doing to drive sustainability and with
that comes consumer demand for more information and they then make choices as to which
businesses they will and won’t engage with.” The demand for ethical and sustainable coffee is
expected to increase over the forecast period, with consumer demand for these product features
forecast to increase.

Slowing Growth for Fresh Ground Coffee Pods


Fresh ground coffee pods recorded slower volume growth in 2018 than in 2017. This can be
explained in part by the growing maturity of the category. Fresh ground coffee pods growth is
expected to slow even further over the forecast period as a result of this increasing maturity,
with strong growth expected for other coffee products. Environmental concerns about the impact
of fresh ground coffee pods is also likely to contribute to the reduced growth of these products
over the forecast period. Organic fresh coffee is expected to see the strongest off-trade value
growth over the forecast period.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Nestlé Australia Remains the Leader in Coffee in Australia


Nestlé Australia remains the overall leader within coffee in Australia, owing to the strength of
its key brands, such as Nescafé Blend 43 and Nescafé Gold Blend within regular instant
standard coffee and Nespresso within fresh ground coffee pods. Nescafé Blend 43 saw its
brand share decline overall over the review period. Nescafé Gold Blend recorded brand share
increases in both volume and value terms in 2018 within regular instant standard coffee. The
Nescafé Gold range introduced a new label in May 2018, with the new labelling providing more
consistency across the range.

Cantarella Bros Sees Its Share Within Coffee Increase in 2018


Cantarella Bros’ positive performance was due to the popularity of its Vittoria brand, which
saw the company’s share continue increasing significantly in 2018. Over the review period, the
Vittoria brand has seen its share increase significantly in fresh ground coffee pods along with
increases in share in fresh coffee beans, although these increases were more moderate.
Vittoria’s highest brand share is in standard fresh ground coffee.

De Master Blenders 1753 NV Records Significant Share Growth in


Fresh Ground Coffee Pods
DE Master Blenders 1753 NV saw its share within fresh ground coffee pods experience
strong growth over the review period. This was due to the popularity of its L’Or brand. The
company launched new aluminium coffee pods in 2018 compatible with the Nespresso coffee
machine. The new aluminium coffee pods can also be recycled through a programme with
TerraCycle.

TEA IN AUSTRALIA - CATEGORY


ANALYSIS
HEADLINES

 Tea declines by 1% in off-trade volume while growing by 3% in off-trade current value to


reach AUD429 million in 2018
 Other fruit/herbal tea records the strongest off-trade value growth in tea, spurred by its health
positioning
 On-trade volume sales of tea increase by 3% while off-trade volume sales decline by 1% in
2018
 Unilever Australia leads tea in Australia with a 26% off-trade value share in 2018
 Tea to record a -1% off-trade volume CAGR and 5% off-trade current value CAGR (3%
CAGR at constant 2018 prices) over the forecast period to reach AUD548 million in 2023

PROSPECTS

Lack of Innovation Impacting Traditional Teas


A shortage of new product innovation is impacting sales of traditional teas, such as black tea,
as it is not drawing fresh consumers to these products. This trend is observed in the falling per
capita consumption of black tea, which decreased each year over the review period and is
predicted to remain in decline over the forecast period. The growth of coffee culture in Australia
could also be a factor contributing to the decline of traditional tea as Australians seek out a
morning cup of coffee rather than tea.

Health Advantages of Tea and Novel Flavours To Draw in Consumers


On the other hand, teas with a health positioning, such as other fruit/herbal tea, saw
significant growth in 2018. Consumers are attracted to the health positioning and benefits of
these products. Trade press “Retail World” quoted Endeavour Consumer Health Senior Brand
Manager, Ms Tyquin, in May 2018 as noting that change within tea will be motivated by the
health advantages of the products as well as consumers wanting more flavour novelty and
variety. Ms Tyquin is also quoted in this article as stating, "Consumers are looking for healthier
alternatives in every category," and that "herbal tea certainly answers this". As a result, other
fruit/herbal tea is expected to record the strongest value growth in tea over the forecast period.

On-trade Sales Encouraged by Widening Product Variety


On-trade volume sales of tea recorded reasonable growth in 2018. This is attributable to the
increasing variety of speciality teas, such as Chai, and herbal teas, such as peppermint,
attracting more consumers to drink tea in the on-trade by providing greater product choice. This
growth is also being supported by the café culture of Australia, with tea products appealing to
those visiting cafés who are looking for a beverage other than coffee.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Unilever Australia Ltd Leads Tea in Australia


While Unilever Australia led tea in Australia in 2018, the company recorded year-on-year
declines in share over the review period. The biggest competition for the company within tea
comes from AB Food & Beverages Australia, which recorded year-on-year share growth in tea
over the review period. Within loose black tea, Bushells was the leading brand, comprising of
three variants, with the Bushells Blue Label Fine Leaf Tea the leading subbrand. All three
subbrands experienced year-on-year declines throughout the review period. Within tea bags
black, Lipton Yellow Label was the number two brand, although the brand’s share has declined
since the start of the review period, coinciding with the growth of the Twinings brand.
Conversely, within green tea, the Lipton brand leads, with the brand’s share increasing
throughout the review period. The company launched a matcha green tea range in three
variants in November 2017: Green Tea with Pure Matcha; Green Tea with Pure Matcha Ginger;
and Green Tea with Pure Matcha Mint.

Ab Food & Beverages Australia Continues To Gain Share in Tea


AB Food & Beverages Australia took over the lead in black tea in 2017, which it continued to
hold in 2018. The Twinings brand recorded a slight brand share increase in loose black tea,
while the brand recorded slight decline in its tea bags black share in 2018. The company’s
Twinings brand also leads in fruit/herbal tea, a position that has been consistent throughout the
review period. The company’s Twinings Green Tea ranked second within green tea in 2018 and
the brand increased its share within green tea over the review period.

Madura Tea Estates Australia Sees Growth Over the Review Period,
However This Stagnates in 2018
Madura Tea Estates Australia Pty Ltd is a locally managed and owned tea company located
in northern New South Wales. The company recorded year-on-year increases within black tea
between 2013 and 2017; however, this growth was negligible in 2018. In contrast, the
company’s share within green tea increased between 2016 and 2018. Madura Green Tea is the
fifth-ranked brand within green tea in Australia in 2018.

PROSPECTS

New Product Developments in Other Hot Drinks in 2018


Other hot drinks saw new product developments in 2018 after enduring a shortage of product
developments for some years. In June 2018, Nestlé Australia launched Fantales and Jaffas hot
chocolate products within chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks and Milo Frothycino within
malt-based hot drinks. These new product innovations have the potential to help generate more
interest in other hot drinks.

Café Culture Encourages Growth of Other Hot Drinks in the On-trade


The growth of the café culture has had an impact on the consumption of other hot drinks in
the on-trade. It has had a positive impact on consumption through local consumers enjoying
decadent treats in the on-trade, such as a dessert or indulgent-type drink. This is being
supported by the growth in dessert culture in Australia, with Gelato Messina representative,
Dana Newman, quoted on Goodman Fielder Food Service’s website as stating, “We’ve
definitely seen a rise in dessert culture, firstly in Sydney and now we’re very much seeing the
same in Melbourne.” However, the growth of café culture has also had a negative impact on the
consumption of other hot drinks in the on-trade, with coffee products providing competition for
these drinks.

Influence of Demographic Factors on Other Hot Drinks


The slow growth of the population aged 0-14 years continues to have an impact on other hot
drinks in Australia. This is because this age group are key consumers of these products. Other
hot drinks manufacturers have responded to this continued demographic trend by seeking to
broaden consumer demand for their products from children to adults. For example, Nestlé
Australia’s launch of its new hot chocolates, Fantales and Jaffas, are aimed to appeal to both
children and adults as they are inspired by two of their iconic brands. Over the forecast period,
the increase in the 0-14 demographic is predicted to remain restrained, resulting in a tricky
operating environment for manufacturers.

COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE

Nestlé Australia Remains the Leader in Other Hot Drinks


Nestlé Australia’s Milo brand remained the most valuable brand in other hot drinks in 2018.
However, sales for the brand were virtually stagnant in 2018, reflecting the impact of the
demographic factors impacting other hot drinks. The company’s Nesquik brand saw value
growth within both chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks and non-chocolate-based flavoured
powder drinks. Likewise, the company’s Sustagen brand saw its brand share increase in 2018
within both chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks and non-chocolate-based flavoured
powder drinks, with the brand appealing to consumers seeking out additional nutritional support.

Aldi Stores Supermarkets Increases Its Share Within Other Hot Drinks
Aldi Stores Supermarkets increased its share within other hot drinks throughout the review
period as the company increased its supermarket footprint in Australia. The number of Aldi
stores increased from 311 in 2013 to 486 in 2017. Consumers appreciate the value and
competitive pricing offered by Aldi Stores Supermarkets. Aldi’s product range within other hot
drinks includes Alcafe and Expressi in chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks and NRG Maxx
in malt-based hot drinks.

Vitarium Experiences Share Growth Due To Growing Health


Consciousness
Vitarium’s company share within other hot drinks increased over the course of the review
period. The growth in the company’s Vitarium brand within chocolate-based flavoured powder
drinks is attributable to the increasing health and wellness trend. Vitarium contains no added
sugar and is sweetened with natvia, referred to on the label as “a 100% natural blend of the
stevia plant & fruit extracts”. Aversion to sugar remains a significant issue in the non-alcoholic
drinks industry, with Euromonitor International’s Global Consumer Trends Survey 2017 finding
that 45% of Australians are trying to limit their intake of refined sugar. Health and wellness is set
to remain an important trend within non-alcoholic drinks over the forecast period.
