Extract from Executive Summary
Green Tea Gives the Tea Sector A Much-needed Shot in the Arm
Green tea has recently been discovered by Australians and is now driving sector growth. Green tea is purchased mainly as tea bags and much of the volume is in fact flavoured, usually with citrus and fruit extracts. Across the tea sector further examples can be found of consumers looking for more interesting flavours as well as properties that are more beneficial to health than those offered by black standard tea. This extends to fruit/herbal tea where rooibos has now appeared and is gaining in popularity. Other examples include premium black teas such as single-estate teas and white tea, as well as flavoured black teas.
Mixed Response To Health and Wellness Trends in Hot Drinks
The strong growth in green tea can be directly attributed to perceived health and wellness benefits, such as antioxidant content, associated with this product. However, and by contrast, caffeine is almost a non-issue in Australia. Decaffeinated coffee represents a small share of the total coffee sector, in 2006 showing 2% growth in terms of retail volume. Decaffeinated tea is also a very small part of the total tea sector. However, people are turning to green tea, and, to a lesser extent, other herbal teas, as naturally decaffeinated products.
Traditional Brands Dominate the Market
Across each of the sectors within the Australian hot drinks market brand shares remain stable. Several brands dominate their sectors, such as Milo in malt-based hot drinks, and Nescafé in instant coffee. Both the tea sector and the fresh coffee sector are far more competitive but the leading brands in each of these sectors are becoming increasingly secure and many smaller players face growing marginalisation.
