Demand for low-alcoholic flavoured drinks is one of the main drivers for RTD growth

The category is also predicted to see a 12.42% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2022-2027, growing by US$748.7 million in value.

Technavio reported that in 2017, the RTD market was valued at US$583.82m, with North America holding the largest market share at US$209.77m.

The report analysed vendors including Anheuser Busch Inbev, Asahi Group, and Diageo.

Technavio cites the main drivers of this projected market growth to be a growing demand for low-alcoholic flavoured drinks; growing health concerns among consumers; and growth of convenience products across the world.

The research company expects the sector will see challenges in different taxation for RTD cocktails; increasing anti-alcohol campaigns on television and social media; and huge availability of substitute products.
