Sales of other hot drinks remain in a negative volume slump in Ecuador in 2025, while value sales are better-supported by high prices. In other hot drinks this is notable due to the prices of cocoa, with chocolate-based flavoured powder drinks being a significant category in other hot drinks. In turn, these price increases have led to a decline in consumption volume, as price-sensitive consumers reduced purchases or shifted toward smaller, more affordable packs.
