Other hot drinks in New Zealand experienced steady value growth in 2025, although performance was shaped largely by inflation-driven price increases rather than by significant expansion in consumption. New Zealand’s heavy reliance on imported cocoa exposed the category to global supply challenges, including severe weather events, crop disease and ageing plantations in key producing regions. These pressures pushed up global cocoa prices and translated to higher landed costs for local producers.
