Poland and Romania remain the top performers with the growth rate of 4.2% and 3.6% respectively.

In this regard, Iced/RTD tea drinks are products that have witnessed exceptional growth. Since real purchasing power of people has increased and there is greater awareness about negative health impacts of traditional soda drinks, healthy beverages such as Iced/RTD tea drinks have become popular.
