COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Lipton’s dominance due to historic presence and great taste
Abu Dhabi Refreshments Co is the leading company in 2025 in RTD Teas, through its popular Lipton brand. Lipton remains significantly ahead of other brands by volume, holding over 50% of share.
Pokka sees deep declines
While Lipton consolidates its dominance, Pokka IceTea, owned by Sapporo Holdings, is losing share in the UAE RTD tea category. The decline can be attributed primarily to unstable distribution arrangements, which have limited product availability and visibility across key channels.
