Ready to Drink (RTD)

The result

Catalyx’s insights were key to the successful U.S. launch of Lavazza’s organic ready-to-drink cold brew cans in four styles. These products were well-received, especially among younger American coffee drinkers. Lavazza’s ready-to-drink segment is now growing nearly 39% faster than the overall packaged coffee market, highlighting the effectiveness of Catalyx’s approach. This launch has significantly strengthened Lavazza’s presence in the U.S. market, establishing them as a key player in the ready-to-drink coffee segment. (Tea & Coffee Trade Journal, 2022)
