RTD coffee saw retail volume sales contract further in 2025, extending the gradual decline already evident in 2024, while retail value growth slowed to a more modest rate. This marks a clear deceleration from the double-digit volume and value increases seen before the pandemic and through 2020. The period of unusually high food inflation in 2022, 2023 and the first half of 2024 significantly eroded purchasing power and pushed average unit prices higher across soft drinks.
