Consumer focus shifting toward organic variants of carbonated tea
“Consumers are becoming increasingly health-aware and consciously opt for organic alternatives to commonly used products. The trend is catching up in the carbonated tea market as well, and the premium prices of these commodities are resulting in the growth of the market,” says Manjunath Reddy, a lead analyst at Technavio for non-alcoholic beverage research.
Consumers who opt for organic products are contributing to building a greener future for the coming generations. To cater to this trend, vendors such as the J.M. Smucker Company, offers US Department of Agriculture (USDA) certified organic carbonated RTD teas such as Rose Hip Infused Earl Grey Tea Lemonade and Mint Infused Green Tea Lemonade.
Growing use of natural sweeteners
The growing awareness about health and healthy eating habits are encouraging consumers to seek products with natural sweetening agents. There is a growing demand for healthy, low-calorie products, and major market vendors are focused on developing and launching low calorie or zero calorie carbonated RTD tea. For instance, Bhakti offers Bhakti Sparkling Tea - Tart Cherry Rooibos, which is prepared using monk fruit extract as a sweetener. Therefore, the increased production of healthy carbonated RTD tea with no or low calories is expected to aid in the growth of the market during the forecast period.
Packaging innovation to highlight product characteristics
“Packaging is often perceived to be an extension of a particular brand's value. Good packaging not only provides better protection and tampering resistance but is also an effective marketing tool. Vendors use attractive graphic designs for tea packages to attract a larger number of consumers,” says Manjunath.
Carbonated RTD tea manufacturers are coming up with innovative packaging to increase the shelf life of their products and also to grab the attention of consumers. For instance, Talking Rain rolled out a new packaging design for its zero-calorie sparkling ice teas, which features bold colors and bright fonts. Vendors are also using sustainable packaging to appeal to more consumers.
