"RTD Tea in Russia" Published

Despite the rapid development of the health and wellness trend among Russian consumers towards the end of the review period, growth in RTD tea slowed down during 2014. RTD increased in total volume by 6% and in total value by 12% in current terms over the course of 2014. This was a substantially inferior performance to the 13% of total volume growth and 18% of total value growth recorded in current terms in the category during 2013. The major slowdown in the development of RTD tea in Russia during 2014 can be explained by reference to the following factors: the mild weather conditions in the country during the year, the ongoing economic downturn and the very high levels of competition coming from other categories, including bottled water and juices. Nevertheless, RTD tea remains one of the most dynamic categories in soft drinks in Russia.
