Tea and Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Tea in the U.S.: Retail, Foodservice and Consumer
Trends
December 1, 2009
Although the economic recession has clearly affected the U.S. tea market, slowing
previously double-digit sales growth in the pricier RTD segment while slightly lifting
sales in the more affordable bags/loose tea segment, tea’s appeal as an “affordable
luxury” and its compelling image as a healthy product have kept sales in the black when
many other CPG categories have seen declines. Moreover, considering the 2005-2009
period overall, sales have done well, and as the economic picture brightens the
recession may turn out to have a silver lining in that it has compelled tea marketers to
innovate along value-added lines likely to continue to resonate well with consumers in
the years ahead.
Market thrusts examined in the report include exotic superfruit flavors; hybrid products
designed to compete with other beverage categories including bottled waters, energy
drinks and sodas; new RTD spins on green tea that promise to mainstream this tea type
once and for all; emerging segments including yerba mate and Kombucha; the upswing
in fair trade and other “ethical” appeals; social marketing via nontraditional media like
Facebook and Twitter; and a strong tea push in the convenience store channel by
marketers and operators alike. At the same time, foodservice players from fine
restaurants on down are expanding their tea offerings even as tea rooms and coffee/tea
shops surge, suggesting tea may be headed toward much broader levels of distribution
and popularity à la Starbucks.
This fully updated report examines the U.S. market for tea across the retail and
foodservice spectrum, including ready-to-drink (RTD) tea, leaf (bagged and loose) tea,
and instant tea. Following an introductory chapter documenting tea types, packaging
trends, “the ethics of tea,” and global market trends, the report segments and quantifies
the market by channel and product type, providing historical sales figures and
projections through 2014. The report examines market drivers and trends and
thoroughly maps out the competitive situation to the marketer and brand share level,
profiling brands including Arizona RTD Tea (Ferolito, Vultaggio & Sons), Bigelow Tea
(R.C. Bigelow, Inc.), Celestial Seasonings (The Hain Celestial Group, Inc.), Honest Tea
(Honest Tea, Inc.), Lipton (Unilever) and Starbucks and Tazo Tea (Starbucks Coffee
2. Co.). Trends in new product introductions are analyzed at length, based on data from
Datamonitor’s Product Launch Analytics, as are trends in the c-store and foodservice
channels.
An exclusive feature of this report is custom survey data from Packaged Facts’
February 2009 online poll of 2,600 U.S. adults, which was conducted to measure
purchasing patterns, attitudes and demographics specific to tea and other functional
foods and beverages. Drilling down to the brand level, the analysis also relies on
consumer survey data from Experian Simmons’ Spring 2009 National Consumer Study
to chart consumer demographic and psychographic trends, Information Resources, Inc.
InfoScan Review data tracking product sales in mass-market channels, and wholesale
data from leading natural/specialty channel distributor United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI)
to quantify sales and market shares of natural and specialty products.
