The launch of Paulig Cold Brew Sparkling coffee and tea range is the one of most innovative launches in the cold ready-to-drink products category according to the company and is expected to further attract more customers as well as manufacturers into the market.

Millennials contribute significantly to the growth in demand for RTD products. In addition, the availability of RTD coffee in liquid and powder form infused with different flavors as well as organic variants has attracted numerous consumers.
