Global Fermented Drinks Market is valued at approximately USD 3.80 billion in 2022 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.90% over the forecast period 2023-2030. Fermented drinks are delicious blends that contain ethanol, an alcohol type produced by fermenting grains, fruits, and other sugar sources. The market for fermented drinks is driven by the rising popularity of probiotic foods and drinks among consumers. However, issues with transportation services and low warehouse storage are causing significant losses to fruit and vegetable growers, which is hindering market growth. Fermentation is a natural process where yeast or bacteria combine with sugar to create alcohol and carbon dioxide. Beer, wine, and spirits are the most common fermented beverages.
The factor that drives the market such as the rising demand for probiotic drinks from health-conscious consumers. According to the International Food Council’s 2021 Food and Health Survey found that 40% of shoppers consider plant-based food and beverages to be healthier. Fermented drinks have become more popular due to consumers’ preference for optimal hydration and increased health consciousness. The market value is expected to grow in the forecasted period, driven by the increasing penetration of e-commerce platforms, especially in developing economies. The fermentation process not only improves the taste and aroma of dairy products but also extends their shelf life, in addition to their health benefits. However, the risk of contamination by non-desirable bacteria is a major hindrance to market growth during the forecast period from 2023 to 2030.
