Market Overview
From a base of USD 1.9 billion in 2026, the hot drinks market in Argentina is forecast to hit USD 2.6 billion by 2031, charting a compound annual growth rate of 5.62%. The growth profile points to a market that continues to expand at a solid pace, although the underlying drivers are increasingly differentiated across tea and coffee. Rather than reflecting a broad-based surge in consumption, the category’s advance is being shaped by a combination of pricing, selective premiumisation and a gradual reallocation of demand toward formats and propositions that better align with value, convenience and wellness.
Tea remains comparatively resilient within this environment, supported by its affordability and its established role in everyday consumption. Traditional black tea continues to provide the category’s core base, benefiting from accessible pricing and entrenched usage habits in a price-sensitive market. At the same time, the mix is gradually shifting as health awareness becomes more influential in purchase decisions. Green tea, along with fruit and herbal infusions, is gaining ground on the back of stronger associations with immune support, relaxation, digestive health and broader daily wellbeing. This is allowing tea to evolve beyond its role as a routine hot drink and toward a more function-led category, where value growth increasingly comes from differentiation rather than from price alone.
Coffee is expanding more rapidly, but its trajectory is also becoming more complex. Value growth is increasingly being supported by higher prices rather than by stronger retail volumes, as input-cost volatility and climate-related supply strain continue to filter through to the consumer. That has sharpened segmentation across the market. More price-sensitive households are gravitating toward affordable instant formats, while premium and specialist coffee experiences remain resilient in foodservice, suggesting that demand is not disappearing so much as shifting across channels and occasions. The result is a more layered market in which downtrading in some retail segments coexists with continued appetite for higher-quality and more experiential consumption elsewhere.
Looking ahead, Argentina’s hot drinks market is likely to remain defined by this dual dynamic. Tea should continue to benefit from its value positioning and from the structural growth of wellness-oriented variants, while coffee is expected to evolve through a mix of price transmission, convenience-led innovation and stronger channel fragmentation. Smaller pack sizes, capsule systems, cold formats and more developed digital routes to market are likely to play a greater role in shaping future demand. Overall, the market is moving toward a more diversified structure in which mature staple segments provide stability, while functional innovation, premium occasions and omnichannel expansion generate the next layer of growth.
