Iced Tea and Coffee Market Stays Active

摘要

Iced tea and iced coffee continue to be among the most active, growing markets dairy processors participate in. Figures from Information Resources Inc. indicate double-digit dollar sales growth, and substantial volume increases during the most recent 52 weeks for iced tea in particular. Iced coffee has had some flat spots in the past couple years, but for the most recent 52 weeks units have been down only slightly and dollar sales have grown.rnCanned and bottled tea make up the largest part of the category, with more than $1.1 billion sales for the 52 week period ended April 20. Refrigerated tea, where many dairy companies participate represents about $284 million a year, looking at the same time frame. Finally iced cappuccino and iced coffee account for about $269 million.
