Convenience, premiumization propels RTD beverage alcohol into the forefront
Briefly

The rise of ready-to-drink (RTD) beverage alcohol is driven by consumer preferences for convenience, portability, and premiumization. Consumers are looking for quality options that require no preparation and come in single-serve, easy-to-carry formats suitable for casual occasions. RTDs increasingly feature better ingredients, lower alcohol by volume, and recognizable formulations, making them feel more sophisticated than traditional beverages. Brands are responding by offering premium experiences at accessible price points, capturing the high-quality expectations of modern consumers as they shift away from basic alcopops towards crafted, mixology-inspired drinks.
"Consumers want quality without the prep work, single-serve, no-mess formats that travel well and suit casual drinking occasions."
"Today's consumers are seeking ultra-convenient, high-quality options that fit seamlessly into their lifestyles, whether they're at a picnic, a festival, or entertaining at home."
