Tea and Ready-to-Drink Tea: U.S. Retail Market, 6th Edition

The tea market in the U.S. continues to enjoy mass appeal in the U.S. The category’s performance in the last couple of years, particularly in ready-to-drink segments, has shown the strong durability of the market.

Tea is experiencing growth, impacted by factors including: an interest in tea culture at foodservice; new products that emphasize tea’s functionality; trends towards premium and specialized products in bagged, loose and ready-to-drink tea; and Starbucks’ push into RTD tea through its partnership with Anheuser-Busch.

Packaged Facts’ report Tea and Ready-to-Drink Tea: U.S. Retail Market, 6th Edition focuses on the dynamic market for packaged tea, particularly with respect to the impact of current product, marketing, and consumer trends. The report offers market size and growth projections for tea and features the results of an exclusive Packaged Facts national online consumer survey of tea drinkers’ tendencies, preferences, and purchase influences.
