The RTD tea market in Cameroon is forecast to grow at a modest compound annual rate of 3.13% through 2030, signalling a category that remains marginal within the broader soft drinks landscape and offers limited near-term momentum. Growth prospects are constrained less by demographic fundamentals and more by structural weaknesses that continue to suppress demand formation.
At a market level, high retail price points and low consumer awareness represent the primary barriers to wider adoption. Despite ongoing population growth, RTD tea has struggled to secure a stable position in everyday beverage consumption, as affordability considerations and limited familiarity weigh heavily on purchasing decisions. This has kept the demand base narrow and prevented the category from translating demographic expansion into meaningful volume growth.
Distribution dynamics further reinforce these constraints. Sales are heavily concentrated in modern retail channels, with limited penetration into informal or alternative distribution networks that typically underpin mass-market beverage growth. The absence of broad-based promotional activity and sustained market investment has restricted visibility and trial, weakening RTD tea’s competitive standing against more established, faster-turning soft drink categories. As a result, industry players have increasingly prioritised segments with clearer profitability profiles, leaving RTD tea with comparatively limited strategic focus.
Looking ahead, any improvement in market performance is likely to hinge on structural adjustment rather than organic expansion. Reformulation toward lower-sugar profiles and a clearer articulation of health benefits could marginally strengthen relevance as health concerns become more visible. However, the realisation of such potential remains highly contingent on broader economic conditions and on renewed industry commitment to product innovation and market development. In the absence of these factors, the Cameroonian RTD tea market is likely to remain under pressure, characterised by gradual growth at best and persistent structural constraints.
