NH beverages remains the largest category within health and wellness beverages, and within that, NH bottled water accounts for the highest sales. However, NH still natural and spring bottled water recorded slowdowns in their retail volume and current value growth rates in 2020, mainly due to the decrease in on-the-go consumption occasions during the pandemic.
Rejuvenation is being seen in the already large NH tea category (hot tea). Although the major consumer group for NH tea is still middle-aged and above, the rise in consumption of NH tea amongst the younger generation is making NH tea seem less old-fashioned.
Domestic player Nongfu Spring strengthened its lead in NH beverages in 2021, gaining retail value share. This is mainly due to the strong performance of NH bottled water, which it leads, as on-the-go consumption resumed in 2021.
NH beverages is set to maintain dynamic retail volume and current value growth rates in the forecast period. A positive outlook is expected thanks to rising awareness of health amongst consumers due to actions by the government, as well as the impact of COVID-19.
Consumers are increasingly turning to higher-end still NH bottled water products rather than opting for the cheapest option. Players have started developing new products to meet this demand.
Continuing the trend seen in the review period, NH RTD tea is set to maintain dynamic double-digit growth in both retail volume and current value terms in China in the forecast period. Sales are expected to continue to grow due to increasing interest in health and living healthy lifestyles.
