Brazil: Ready-to-Drink Beverages Fuel Growth and New Opportunities for Bars and Restaurants

According to the Brazilian Association of Bars and Restaurants (Abrasel), Ready-to-Drink (RTD) beverages are becoming increasingly popular among consumers seeking a wider variety of convenient drinking options. A Nielsen Scantrack survey revealed a remarkable 60 percent rise in RTD consumption in Brazil between 2020 and 2022. This category includes ready-made cocktails, teas, coffees, and other beverages, and is seen by the market as a strategic opportunity for businesses to diversify their offerings and boost profitability.

This trend reflects the evolving consumer profile, which is more modern, discerning, and attuned to global trends. RTDs not only attract new customers but also offer operational benefits to producers and establishments by reducing preparation time, thereby optimizing service efficiency.

Another advantage of this growing market is the potential for bars and restaurants to form partnerships with beverage brands, expanding their product range and enhancing their brand image. These collaborations allow establishments to strengthen their appeal while catering to the increasing demand for convenience and variety in the beverage sector.
