Bottled water most popular, but RTD tea makes most gains
Bottled water continues to account for most volume sales, with sales being driven by concerns over tap water, particularly in rural areas. Carbonates are also popular, with reduced sugar variants making gains. However, RTD tea makes the most gains, as it is perceived as healthier. Consumers are increasingly health conscious and look for functional benefits, as well as lower sugar content. The outlook is positive over the forecast period, supported by a growing economy, but there are headwinds.
