Market Overview
Cambodia’s hot drinks market is projected to add USD 23.8 million in value by 2031, expanding at a CAGR of 5.11% over the forecast period. The category remains relatively small, but its development is becoming more differentiated as consumer preferences gradually evolve. Tea continues to provide the market’s main cultural and consumption foundation, while coffee is gaining relevance in urban areas through more aspirational and lifestyle-led occasions. Taken together, these dynamics point to a market moving from a largely traditional beverage base toward one shaped more clearly by health, branding and selective premiumisation.
Tea remains the more structurally embedded pillar of the category, with black tea continuing to account for the majority of sales, especially in rural areas where loose formats retain strong appeal because of affordability and long-established habits. In urban centres, however, tea bags are gaining ground as convenience, hygiene and perceived quality become more influential in product choice. At the same time, green tea, fruit infusions and herbal blends are emerging as the most dynamic parts of the tea segment, supported by stronger associations with wellness, natural ingredients and functional benefits such as relaxation and immune support. As disposable incomes rise, consumers are gradually moving from unbranded and unpackaged tea toward branded and packaged offerings, helping formalise the market and lift value through better product mix.
Coffee is developing a clearer premium and experiential role. The rapid expansion of specialty coffee shops in major cities has elevated coffee’s image, particularly among younger and middle- to higher-income consumers who increasingly associate it with socialising, convenience and modern urban lifestyles. Menu innovation centred on iced coffee, milk-based drinks and flavoured formats is reinforcing that momentum and is also beginning to influence retail demand, as consumers seek to recreate café-style beverages at home. Younger professionals remain the core growth cohort, with coffee increasingly consumed not only in the morning but across work, social and leisure occasions, aided by the accessibility of street vendors and independent cafés.
Even so, category development remains uneven. Tea-drinking traditions, especially among older consumers, continue to limit coffee’s broader cultural penetration, while low ownership of coffee machines constrains the spread of more advanced home preparation and espresso-style formats. Urban-rural disparities in access and assortment also remain pronounced. For tea, growth is likely to be driven increasingly by health-oriented and locally differentiated products, while for coffee the main opportunities will remain concentrated in city-led premium and experiential consumption. As a result, Cambodia’s hot drinks market is expected to continue expanding through a combination of tea-led structural resilience and coffee-led lifestyle upgrading, with both segments contributing to a market that is gradually becoming more branded, health-conscious and sophisticated.
