RTD coffee was amongst the strongest performers within soft drinks over the review period owing to the rapid growth in popularity of cold brew coffee reinvigorating what was a stale category. This strong growth was, however, from a comparatively low base.
The rapid growth in popularity of cold brew coffee over the review period was the key driver of the overall growth of the RTD coffee category in New Zealand. These changing consumer preferences have not gone unnoticed by the major players in traditional coffee categories, with Nestlé launching its first ever cold brew style coffee capsule in 2023 – Cold Brew Style Intense for Vertuo.
Sustainability and environmental impact are becoming an increasingly important trend influencing consumer decision making across FMCG, something which came further into focus following the extreme weather events that affected regions across the country in 2023 and were attributed to climate change. RTD coffee, and cold brew coffee in particular, is a soft drinks category which has an established presence in this space, as cross-over from the broader provenance and sustainability trends that influence coffee overall.
