South America Mate Market Analysis

The Mate market in South America is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 4.4% during the forecast period (2020 - 2025).

Emerging export potential for the North American and European markets along with a stabilized demand from Syria and Chile, and a revival in the regional domestic demand, have given a boost to the yerba mate market in South America, in recent years. Furthermore, the development of several initiatives by INYM, aided by burgeoning demand for the caffeine-induced flavorful beverage as a viable alternative to coffee in the export markets, have acted as a stimulus to the production of mate in the region.

In terms of production, Brazil was the largest market for yerba mate in the region in 2019, followed by Argentina. The country produced a total of 546,618.0 metric tons of yerba mate in 2018.

South America Mate Market Size Summary

The South American mate market is experiencing a positive growth trajectory, driven by increasing export opportunities to North America and Europe, alongside stable demand from countries like Syria and Chile. The revival of domestic demand within the region has further bolstered the market. Initiatives by INYM and the growing popularity of mate as a caffeine-rich alternative to coffee have stimulated production. Brazil leads the region in yerba mate production, although it has faced a decline in recent years, while Argentina has seen a steady increase. The rising demand for mate in the United States and European countries, attributed to its perceived health benefits over traditional beverages, has contributed to the market's expansion.

The international market's appetite for exotic beverages with health benefits has fueled the export of mate from South America, with significant imports noted in countries like Spain. Despite Brazil's status as the largest global producer, its production levels have decreased due to reduced harvesting areas. However, the global demand for yerba mate has attracted the attention of major corporations, leading to innovative product launches, such as Coca-Cola Brazil's yerba mate pods. These developments are anticipated to enhance Brazil's production capabilities in the future, capitalizing on the burgeoning global interest in yerba mate.
