The RTD Beverages Market is projected to reach $1,582.7 billion by 2031, at a CAGR of 6.8% during the forecast period 2024–2031.

However, the high prices of RTD beverages are expected to hinder the growth of this market.
Furthermore, the growing availability of alcoholic RTD beverages and the rapid growth of the retail sector are expected to generate growth opportunities for the players operating in the RTD beverages market.
