Consumption of iced/RTD tea drinks grew slightly, with Asia continuing to be the market leader. Product innovations and a rise in convenient sub-channels, home delivery, and e-commerce aided the growth. The largest growth by region for the beverage came from Australasia, where iced/RTD is a small, but increasing share. One of the key drivers of growth in the region was consumers switching to the beverage as a healthier alternative to carbonates. Increases also came from the popularity of kombucha and other innovative products and flavors.
However, where consumers of other regions are choosing iced/RTD tea as a healthier alternative to carbonates, Latin American consumers are shifting towards flavored water. In countries such as Mexico and Colombia, there has been a negative image surrounding iced/RTD tea drinks due to the product’s high sugar levels.
Value growth outpaced volume during the review period, suggesting a slight movement towards premiumization within the category. This was partially due to the launch of Coca-Cola’s Fuze Tea brand across Western markets. The inclusion of on-trend flavor profiles – such as cucumber and mint – has allowed the brand to successfully price itself above incumbent companies. Asia held the most sales, with a large amount coming from China. Sales were driven by consumers seeking convenient, RTD beverages that were available in innovative flavors.
Plain tea remained the leading flavor, taking almost half of the share of volume sales, followed by lemon. However, lemon lost a slight amount of its share as more innovative flavors were released. In Asia, grapefruit experienced a strong growth, whereas Eastern Europe saw significant increases from flavors such as mango. As consumers around the globe become more health conscious, low calorie options experienced a larger increase than regular calorie options. Asia, Eastern Europe, Middle East & North Africa, and Western Europe all had a significant step-up in low calorie sales. A large amount of product innovations focusing on using unusual flavors and ingredients with perceived health benefits also helped to aid the growth of sales.
Despite global concerns over the negative effects of plastic on the environment, PET grew stronger as the packaging leader. The material increased its share of sales in all regions apart from Australasia, as consumers chose convenience. However, in regards to volume consumption sales, the material declined in Africa and Latin America. The material’s popularity comes from bottles that can be used to consume beverages on the go, and aid consumers’ increasingly hectic and busy lifestyles. This is in-line with the fact that 50cl takes the majority of the sales from PET bottles.
