Coffee continued to shape the performance of hot drinks in Ethiopia in 2024, as a traditional and very popular beverage in the country. While most coffee is sold unpackaged via informal retailing, packaged fresh coffee products continued to gain popularity in urban areas.
Coffee remained the dominant type in hot drinks in Ethiopia in 2024, with fresh the most popular format.
Ethiopia is the second populous country in Africa, behind Nigeria. Ethiopia’s population reached 132 million inhabitants in 2024.
While remaining high, inflation slowed in 2024. However, high inflation and price increases have had an impact on the patterns of consumer purchases on both coffee and tea in the market.
Logistics in Ethiopia suffer from severe underdevelopment, characterised by poor road infrastructure, particularly in rural areas, inefficiency in the clearance process of goods at the Ethiopian border, a shortage of freight vehicles and a severe mismatch between the demand and supply of cross-country vehicles in Ethiopia.
Retail volume sales of hot drinks in Ethiopia are projected to increase over the forecast period led by coffee, which enjoys a traditional appeal, and, to a lesser extent, tea. Coffee is expected to continue to be sold and consumed mainly via the traditional way of preparing coffee; however, there will be an increase in modern types of coffee preparation and consumption.
