COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Established players maintain their grip on concentrates
In 2025, concentrates, encompassing both powder and liquid formats, exhibited a highly concentrated competitive landscape. In powder concentrates, Nestlé (Nestea) and Unilever (Lipton Iced Tea) maintained a stronghold, together accounting for more than half of sales, leveraging deeply entrenched brand equity, extensive distribution networks, and long-standing consumer familiarity, particularly within the household segment.
Nestlé's Nestea leads isolated growth in the stagnant concentrates category
In 2025, Nestlé (Thai) Ltd, with its Nestea brand, stood out as the sole individual player to achieve off-trade volume growth within concentrates in Thailand. Concurrently, growth was observed among smaller brands, included under “others”, intensifying competition within the category.
