Recently published research from Euromonitor International, "Other Hot Drinks in Argentina", is now available at Fast Market Research

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 07/10/2014 --Argentina's price controls were imposed by former President Nestor Kirchner in 2008 and maintained by President Cristina Fernandez to contain surging inflation spurred by rising consumer demand amid a six-year economic expansion programme. During 2012, the government maintained price controls on yerba mate and limited retail sales to only two packs per person per ticket in the first quarter of the year. Yerba mate prices were allowed to rise by between 4-9%, well below the rate of real inflation. Therefore, yerba mate manufacturers focused on the export market, causing shortages in retail stores during the first quarter of 2012.

Competitive Landscape

Establecimiento Las Marias SACIFA and Molinos Rio de la Plata SA led the category in 2012 thanks to their strength in other plant-based hot drinks through well-known yerba mate brands. Establecimiento Las Marias has developed very strong brands, such as Taragui and Union, by continuously launching new products (packs combining the cup, the mate leaves and the straw), limited edition cans with a special dispenser (Union Bio) and by investing in promotional activities such as advertising, branded (vending-style) machines dispensing inexpensive hot water at petrol stations and in-store tags to attract attention to new product launches.

Industry Prospects

Yerba mate will recover over the forecast period as government price controls started to weaken during the last semester of 2012. On the demand side, consumers worrying about rising inflation are expected to turn to less expensive coffee and tea options in the short term. There is little room for innovation in the category, but organic yerba mate is expected to grow at a faster rate in the coming years.
