According to Tea and Ready-to-Drink Tea in the U.S., a new report from Packaged Facts, Rockville, MD, tea remains a largely underdeveloped market in the United States and is poised to double over the next five years. The report estimates that sales for instant, leaf, liquid concentrate and ready-to-drink (RTD) tea will grow from $7.4 billion this year to nearly $15 billion by 2012.

A primary driving factor catalyzing this growth is increased consumer attention on health and wellness, as well as the aging baby boomer population. And tea itself has a healthy image that continues to grow. A functional beverage, tea fits into the well-established movement among aging baby boomers to seek out foods and beverages that promise wellness and anti-aging effects, notes the report.
