The global non-alcoholic beverages market size is expected to reach USD 1,997.25 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.4% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. As consumers become more health-conscious, there is a growing demand for beverages that offer nutritional benefits, such as hydration, and contribute to overall well-being. This trend has shifted the spotlight from traditional sugary and carbonated drinks to healthier and functional beverage options.
Consumers increasingly seek alternatives to sugary sodas and high-calorie beverages, driven by concerns about obesity, diabetes, and other health issues. Non-alcoholic drinks that promote natural ingredients, low or no sugar content, and functional additives such as vitamins, antioxidants, and probiotics are gaining popularity. Companies in the market respond to this demand by innovating and introducing a diverse range of healthier beverage options, including herbal teas, infused water, natural fruit juices, and functional drinks.
The rise of alternative and plant-based ingredients is contributing to the growth of this market. Plant-based beverages, such as almond milk, soy milk, and other dairy alternatives, have gained traction as consumers explore options that align with their dietary preferences, including vegan and lactose-free choices. Health considerations and environmental and ethical concerns drive this shift toward plant-based and alternative ingredients.
The retail stores have become integral to the global economy in recent years. These stores have a competitive advantage in terms of proximity to customers and, in most cases, an extremely loyal customer base. Retail sales growth has thus become a major factor in the growth of the market.
For instance, in 2022, Koios Beverage Corporation, a beverage manufacturer, partnered with McLane Co., a company that buys, sells, and delivers more than 50,000 consumer products to nearly 110,000 locations across the U.S. This helped the former to grow its distribution network for its Fit Soda line (organic, natural soda) in convenience stores and gas stations in the U.S. Furthermore, the company is expanding its footprint in many new markets and regions.
