The rapidly expanding consumer interest in healthy living and eating, as well as RTD tea's prominence as a modern-style healthy beverage, has become a crucial determinant for RTD Tea in India.

Growing health and wellness trends among consumers are supporting the market's growth

  • Driven by its sizable population and expanding middle class, the Asia-Pacific region is at the forefront of the ready-to-drink (RTD) tea surge. The region's deep-rooted cultural affinity for traditional tea variants, such as green tea, herbal tea, and oolong tea, is fueling the demand for RTD tea. The appeal of these products is further enhanced by their convenience and on-the-go nature, making them a hit among busy consumers. By eliminating the need for brewing and cleanup, RTD teas offer a hassle-free, ready-to-consume option. Notably, the sales value of RTD tea in the Asia-Pacific region saw a notable uptick of 13.2% in 2023 compared to 2021.
  • Among the RTD tea variants, green tea dominates the market, accounting for an impressive 21% growth rate by value from 2020 to 2023. The surge in health and wellness consciousness has been a key driver behind the ascent of RTD green tea. Consumers are gravitating toward it, drawn by its perceived health benefits and its appeal as a healthier alternative to sugary soft drinks, given its unsweetened or low-sugar nature. Additionally, the availability of diverse flavors caters to varying taste preferences. In the Asia-Pacific market, consumers also appreciate RTD green tea for its refreshing and hydrating qualities.
  • Emerging as the frontrunner in growth, herbal RTD tea is poised to witness a CAGR of 7.84% by value during 2024-2030. This variant is gaining traction as a quick and convenient choice, particularly among those seeking natural products. Furthermore, herbal teas have long been lauded in traditional medicine for their potential health benefits, including anti-cancer, anti-diabetic, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties.

  • The Asia-Pacific ready-to-drink (RTD) tea market is projected to witness a robust CAGR of 7.44% from 2024 to 2030. Notably, China dominates the region's RTD tea landscape, driven by its rich tea heritage. In 2023, RTD tea in China accounted for a significant 25% of the country's overall tea consumption. China boasts a vibrant market, with a plethora of regional and international brands offering a diverse array of RTD teas, ranging from traditional sweetened and jasmine teas to herbal blends and innovative flavors. Looking ahead, health-consciousness is expected to fuel the demand for reduced-sugar RTD teas in China.
  • Japan, a nation with a deep-rooted tea culture, is witnessing a strong affinity for RTD green teas. Key players like Ito En Ltd and Kirin Beverage Company Limited emphasize maintaining the traditional taste while enhancing packaging and convenience. The Japanese market saw a staggering 700 tea drink variants in circulation in 2022, with over 100 new introductions each year.

Asia-Pacific Ready to Drink Tea Market Trends

The convenience associated with RTD tea beverages boosts the segment sales
