Additionally, there has been a shift towards more sustainable packaging options, such as recyclable materials and eco-friendly packaging designs. This trend is driven by consumer demand for environmentally friendly products. Another trend in the market is the rise of premium RTD Coffee & Tea products. Consumers in Hong Kong are willing to pay a premium for high-quality and premium beverages. This has led to the introduction of premium RTD Coffee & Tea products that use premium ingredients and are positioned as a more indulgent and luxurious option.
