Key Market Issues

Most products are regular. Low calorie iced/RTD tea drinks, which are largely to be found in North America, have captured around 7% of global volume and are having difficulty in raising their contribution
Almost all packaging is disposable. Only 2% of volume is now sold in refillable packs, down from 5% in 2004. Most of this is to be found in Asia
Not all regions were able to record growth last year. East European demand slipped back a little (-1%). Whilst Asian progress remained positive the rate of increase (3%) was disappointingly low after the 18% recorded in 2010. As already mentioned, this was due to demand beginning to level out in China

Key Highlights

Iced/RTD tea drinks tend to be drunk for refreshment reasons and consequentially most volumes are uncarbonated (99%) and RTD (93%). Powders and concentrates represent 7% of sales leaving only a fraction for carbonated drinks. Over half of carbonated volume is to be found in West Europe. Powders dropped in size last year but other segments saw varying degrees of growth
Two thirds of category volumes are sold through the off-premise channel. Whilst this share has tended to gradually rise it is well below the average for soft drinks in general (72%), to the obvious benefit of the on-premise trade
Asia accounts for almost two thirds of global consumption. Until 2011 its market contribution had increased annually. But its recent performance is only seen as a temporary setback and its rate of development should begin to outpace the global market again this year.
One fifth of global demand comes from North America, but this region's contribution is contracting annually, though actual volumes are still rising and should continue to do so throughout the forecast period
