The Ready-To-Drink market is ever-growing with a variety of product types in this beverage category. While alcoholic drinks are in a league of their own, so are non-alcoholic RTDs. Spanning from coffee, tea, fruit juices, dairy and non-dairy drinks, mocktails, and more, there is plenty to choose. At T. Hasegawa we work on combining flavors and aromas to create a parallel and distinguishable taste for non-alcoholic RTDs.

Integrating market insights with our R&D team’s expertise, we are capable of creating unique flavor infusions to help satisfy consumer cravings. Along with this, we can expand your repertoire of flavors and sensory experiences using our innovative technology in your RTD beverage formulations. T. Hasegawa works collaboratively to improve the overall beverage tasting experience.

Conveniently packaged and ready for consumption, RTDs provide a range of options for busy consumers. Whether you are in need of instant coffee, iced tea, a protein shake, or canned juice, there’s an RTD available. However, when it comes to matching the same taste found in homemade or made-to-order drinks, it can get tough.

Consumers value taste and consider flavor a top priority. While health and other wellness factors play a part in purchase decisions, brands must keep innovation in taste offerings in mind. Since non-alcoholic RTDs are vast in the beverage space, their flavors are too. In alcohol alternative RTDs, for example, recreating the flavor and mouthfeel of a traditional alcoholic drink would pique the interest of sober-curious consumers. Expanding that notion by adding flavors not normally seen in conventional alcoholic drinks would also provide novel experiences.

In the long run, positioning RTD drinks as a natural and tasty alternative would benefit the non-alcoholic category while demonstrating flavor variety.
