RTD tea fits this demand perfectly, as it is often perceived as a healthier alternative to carbonated soft drinks.

Trends in the market: One of the key trends in the RTD tea market in Morocco is the growing preference for natural and organic ingredients. Consumers are becoming more conscious of what they consume and are looking for products that are free from artificial flavors, colors, and preservatives. This has led to a surge in demand for RTD teas that are made with real tea leaves and natural sweeteners. Additionally, Moroccan consumers are increasingly seeking out unique flavors and blends, which has prompted manufacturers to introduce a wider variety of options to cater to their preferences. Another trend in the market is the increasing popularity of ready-to-drink iced tea. Morocco has a warm climate, and consumers are looking for refreshing beverages to quench their thirst. RTD iced tea offers a convenient and ready-to-consume option that appeals to busy individuals who are constantly on the go. The convenience factor, coupled with the availability of different flavors and variants, has contributed to the growth of the RTD iced tea segment in Morocco.

Moroccan consumers are already familiar with the taste and benefits of tea, making them more receptive to RTD tea products.
