The global plant-based beverages market size is expected to reach USD 71.83 billion by 2030, registering a CAGR of 13.1% from 2023 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. There is significant scope for the growth of the global industry as the concept of veganism is gaining prominence in developed countries, such as the U.K., U.S., Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Italy, France, and Canada. In addition, various Middle Eastern countries such as Israel and Saudi Arabia have been witnessing a growth in the vegan population, which offers several growth opportunities for plant-based beverage manufacturers. Major players as well as new entrants in the industry are adopting various market strategies, primarily new product launches, and strengthening their distribution channel to gain maximum customer penetration across the globe.
For instance, in April 2021, Nestle announced the launch of a plant-based, ready-to-drink (RTD) version of its Milo cocoa beverage in Asia, along with two plant-based coffee RTDs. The new plant-based version of Milo will replace the dairy milk with almond and soy and the other two core ingredients-malt and cocoa-remain the same. The demand for organically processed beverages is significant in the European and North American regions. The rising demand has compelled beverage companies to reformulate products to meet organic standards over the years. Increasing government support for organic agriculture and the rising popularity of organic food & beverages among consumers have driven the demand for organically processed plant-based beverages.
Coconut-based beverages are anticipated to register the fastest CAGR during the forecast period. New product launches in this segment are likely to be among the key drivers supporting the market growth. For instance, in April 2020, Harmless Harvest added three new flavored coconut water drinks to their classic organic coconut water line. The flavored plant-based beverages segment is expected to register a significant CAGR over the forecast period. Consumers are willing to experiment with flavors, such as mango, pulp, and cocoa. Therefore, new flavor launches in the existing product portfolio along with partnerships, collaborations, and marketing campaigns are some of the strategies that brands and companies opt for to gain a competitive edge in the industry.
