Kombucha Market:
Growth opportunities in the Kombucha Market look promising over the next six years. This is mainly due to the availability of several flavours in the market coupled with the shift in the consumer preferences towards functional beverages.
Kombucha Market Dynamics (including market size, share, trends, forecast, growth, forecast, and industry analysis)
Key Drivers
The increasing inclination of individuals in favor of functional drinks with the capability to offer advantageous health benefits is one of the major factors which has raised the preference and demand for drinks such as kombucha. In accordance with the IFT (Institute of Food Technologists), ascetic beverages accounted for approximately 76.4% of the share in 2017, from the overall sector in the U.S. The probiotic drinks are prepared using fermented milk such as kefir and yogurt. The consciousness associated with the importance of probiotics in gut health has raised the market demand. In addition, the accessibility of several flavors has stimulated market growth. Consumers these days have become bold and do not abstain from experimenting the novel innovative flavors. For example, Kombrewcha, in 2020, introduced new flavors, mango pineapple and blood orange, which has tempted consumers and is thereby strengthening the kombucha market size.
However, the excessive tax imposed on sugar products coupled with rigorous regulations made by the executive bodies of the manufacturing process will curb the kombucha market share.
Distribution Channel Segment Drivers
Based on the distribution channel, supermarket/hypermarkets are projected to grow at a higher CAGR in the market over the forecast period. This is primarily attributed to the massive discounts offered by them during the season and even in the off-season. In addition, Kroger, which is a supermarket based in the U.S., has exhibited an increase in yearly sales from 2018-2019, from US$ 121,852 to US$ 122,286, which outlines the growth in millions, thus driving the market growth.
Regional Drivers
Based on the regional coverage, North America is predicted to dominate the market during the forecast period. This is mainly because of the prevalence of leading players like Hain Celestial, KeVita, and Asheville Kombucha Mamas. In addition, altering consumer behavior, rising healthcare concerns, and availability of the health drinks like kombucha significantly propel market growth. According to Glanbia Nutritional’s Inc., the U.S. functional beverage market size was USD 39 million in 2018, which signifies the vast growth perspective. Moreover, increased demand and supply of non-carbonated and low-calorie beverages, such as flavored kombucha, will supplement the market growth.
