South Africa Tea and Coffee Industry Report 2025 Featuring Major Processors and Suppliers - Unilever, National Brands, Nestle, Famous Brands, Joekels, Cape Rooibos, Rooibos, Melmont, Agulhas and Bitou
DUBLIN--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jul 3, 2025--
The 'The Tea and Coffee Industry in South Africa 2025" report has been added to offering.
This report focuses on the tea and coffee industry in South Africa, including the rooibos and honeybush industries. It includes information on production, processing, sales and retail outlets, the sharp rise in prices, consumption and the current position of state-backed tea estates. Notable players, investments and developments are discussed.
The country remains heavily dependent on coffee and tea imports, with only minimal local production. In 2024, imports grew by 10%, driven by rising demand. However, coffee prices, despite a slight decline since March 2025, have recently reached record highs, while tea prices have also surged. These cost increases have led consumers to cut back or trade down.
Despite these pressures, demand for ground coffee continues to rise, fuelled by a growing coffee culture and the expansion of coffee outlets. Still, the sector faces several challenges, including climate change, land expropriation, and low economic growth, which may limit demand for premium tea and specialty coffee products.
Coffee prices are expected to rise further, with some industry players warning of a potential coffee shortage if the trend continues. Higher prices may prompt consumers to cut back on spending, putting pressure on coffee shop chains.
Despite this, demand for ground coffee remains robust, driven by at-home consumption and the growing coffee culture. In the tea segment, local black tea consumption is declining, and rooibos consumption remains flat. However, the healthy drinks trend is anticipated to boost demand for both rooibos and honeybush teas.
There are profiles of 32 companies including major processors and suppliers such as Unilever, National Brands and Nestle, coffee companies such as Famous Brands Coffee Company, tea companies such as Joekels Tea Packers and rooibos and honeybush companies such as Cape Rooibos, Rooibos Ltd, Melmont Honeybush Tea, Agulhas Honeybush Tea and Bitou Honeybush.
