The market is expected to grow at CAGR of 14.0% from 2023 to 2030. The growing demand for flavored drinks with low alcohol content due to rising health concerns and increasing consumer inclination toward ready-to-eat (RTE) and ready-to-drink (RTD) products, owing to their busy lifestyles and hectic work schedules, is driving the market growth. In terms of type, spirit-based RTD cocktails emerged as the largest segment in 2022 and is anticipated to maintain its dominance in the forecasted period. They are popular among consumers owing to their low alcohol content, and the availability of various flavors. The growing demand for low content alcohol-based flavored drinks due to the rising health concerns is anticipated to drive the spirit-based segment over the forecast period.
The bottle packaging segment accounted for a largest share of the overall revenue in 2022. Aluminum shortage in several countries has led to the introduction of RTD cocktails in glass bottles, which became popular worldwide. Furthermore, the rise in awareness regarding water and land pollution has prompted majority of players to launch their products in glassed bottles. The supermarkets/hypermarkets distribution channel segment accounted for the largest share of 69.8% in 2022. Supermarkets are well-established distribution channels for product manufacturers and play a key role in the market since they have a wide consumer reach. The improving scenario of the retail industry is expected to boost the segment growth over the forecast period. The market is fragmented with the presence of many global and regional players.
