Analyst New York, United States May 2025

The relatively nascent Ready-to-Drink (RTD) Coffee Production industry, which makes canned and bottled coffee and espresso drinks, has experienced a surge in demand as US consumers' fast-paced lifestyles have created a need for quick options, especially in the morning. Large producers and new entrants have rushed to meet the swell in demand driven largely by millennials, who make up the largest consumer group for ready-to-drink coffee products. Companies have rolled out countless new products, from new varieties in the dominant RTD cold brew segment to niche options catering to a variety of health, dietary and sustainability conscious preferences. With consumers in a better position to spend on these affordable luxuries as per capita disposable income has grown, the RTD coffee market has benefited from the confluence of these trends.
