Costa Rica’s RTD tea industry is projected to add USD 67.1 million in value by 2030, expanding at a compound annual growth rate of 5.8% over the 2025–2030 period. This outlook points to a market characterised by stable scale but ongoing internal adjustment, as near-term growth faces pressure from softer tourism-related demand while underlying consumer fundamentals remain intact. RTD tea continues to occupy a resilient position within the non-alcoholic beverages landscape, supported by its perceived health advantages relative to traditional sugary drinks.
Weaker tourist flows have reduced impulse-driven, on-the-go consumption, particularly in out-of-home and travel-adjacent retail environments, contributing to a moderation in retail volume growth. However, this has not translated into a structural erosion of the category. Among local consumers, RTD tea retains a strong “relatively healthy” image, allowing it to maintain relevance and defend share amid broader shifts in beverage consumption. As a result, the market is transitioning from outward expansion toward consolidation and qualitative upgrading.
Within the category, traditional RTD tea has reached a mature stage, while more differentiated segments are assuming a greater role in shaping growth. Sparkling RTD tea and kombucha are emerging as more dynamic contributors, benefiting from refreshing taste profiles and functional or natural positioning. These sub-segments reflect sustained consumer interest in beverages that offer added experiential or wellbeing cues, even as overall consumption growth remains measured.
Looking ahead, market momentum is expected to be driven primarily by deeper health and wellness trends. Product development is increasingly focused on sugar reduction, zero-sugar formulations and the incorporation of functional ingredients, reinforcing RTD tea’s alignment with preventive health and lifestyle management. At the same time, Costa Rica’s well-developed retail infrastructure and rising e-commerce penetration are improving accessibility and information transparency, supporting steady, long-term growth in a mature market context rather than a return to rapid expansion.
