    Customer preferences:
    Singaporeans have shown a growing preference for healthier beverage options, and RTD tea fits this demand perfectly. With its natural ingredients and lower sugar content compared to carbonated drinks, RTD tea appeals to health-conscious consumers. Additionally, the convenience of ready-to-drink packaging aligns with the fast-paced lifestyle of Singaporeans, who often seek quick and easy beverage options.

    Trends in the market:

Green tea is known for its health benefits and has gained a strong following among health-conscious consumers. As a result, many companies have introduced green tea variants in their RTD tea product lines to cater to this growing demand. Another trend in the market is the emergence of innovative flavors. Companies are constantly introducing new and unique flavors to attract consumers and differentiate themselves from competitors. This includes flavors such as fruit-infused teas, floral teas, and herbal blends. The variety of flavors available in the market allows consumers to experiment and find their preferred taste profiles.
