- In Europe, RTD tea is gaining popularity due to rising obesity concerns, which is projected to witness a high CAGR value of 9.42% during 2024-2030. Countries like Germany have a higher obesity rate, which has led consumers to be inclined toward sugar-less or low-calorie beverages, including RTD teas. In Germany, 53.5% of the population (46.6% of women and 60.5% of men) was overweight as of 2022. Thus, many consumers are turning to RTD tea as an alternative to sugary sodas and other less healthy beverages.
