Craft Soda Market Overview

As demand for beverages containing natural ingredients continues to boom, Market Research Future (MRFR) expects the craft soda market to make rapid progress between 2020 and 2027.

Surge in social awareness in line with the rise in health issues caused with the consumption of alcoholic and sugary drinks elevates the craft soda market position. The global industry benefits from consumers’ shifting inclination from carbonated soft drinks comprising artificial sweeteners to low-calorie, natural beverages. While conventional soft drinks are facing challenges from nutritionists, on the other hand craft soda, or small-batch, artisanal or specialty soda, has been gaining steady traction thanks to their natural ingredients, creative flavors, unique packaging, and robust local presence. The emerging trend of wellness food, as well as gourmet food, can further enhance the consumption rate of craft sodas.

Having said that, the huge demand for alternatives along with the rising environmental concerns, along with stringent government policies about energy conservation could deter the business growth. On the bright side, rigid government initiatives and guidelines regarding artificial ingredients as well as labeling & packaging could help the major companies in the future. Rise in trade promotions as well as foreign investments should also bolster the product demand.
