KEY DATA FINDINGS
2020 IMPACT
RTDs is hit hard in 2020 across all metrics as horeca outlets close and consumers are confined to their homes
Diageo strengthens its leadership of RTDs with Smirnoff Ice, but more natural options produced with locally sourced ingredients gain popularity
High sugar and alcohol levels of RTDs remain as a concern amongst local consumers and continue to reduce overall demand in 2020
RECOVERY AND OPPORTUNITIES
Players will seek to gain share in the coming years through differentiation via innovation
A return to socialising and events will boost on-trade sales of RTDs in the short term before slower growth resumes
Wine-based RTDs with lower alcohol content will present a more sophisticated image
