Ginger ale is a carbonated, non-alcoholic beverage sweetened primarily with the underground stem, or rhizome, of ginger, providing its distinctive taste and pleasant sensation. It includes preservatives such as citric acid and sodium benzoate, along with caramel color. Typically consumed on its own, ginger ale is also popularly used as a mixer, especially with spirit-based drinks.
The primary categories of ginger ale comprise golden ginger ale and dry ginger ale. Golden ginger ale, also known as aromatic ginger ale, is a carbonated beverage with added sweetness, generally containing more sugar, less acidity, a darker hue, and a more pronounced fragrance. Golden ginger ales are beverages primarily derived from the underground stem, or rhizome, of ginger. These products are available through convenience stores, hypermarkets/supermarkets, specialty stores, and online sales channels.

The growth of the ginger ale market is expected to be boosted by an increasing number of health-conscious individuals. These are people actively interested in maintaining healthy lifestyles. Ginger, known for its antioxidants with anti-inflammatory properties, presents potential advantages for nausea, migraines, and heart health. The rising trend of health-conscious individuals seeking healthier food and beverage options, driven by the desire for significant health benefits, is fueling the ginger ale market. For example, a survey conducted by Ireland-based Kerry Group plc in March 2021 revealed that 65% of functional beverage consumers in the UK, Germany, Poland, and Spain are more concerned about their health since COVID-19. Hence, the growing number of health-conscious individuals is a driving force behind the ginger ale market's growth.
The expansion of e-commerce is anticipated to drive the ginger ale market's growth. E-commerce, involving online buying and selling, provides consumers with various ginger ale options through platforms, allowing them to conveniently make purchases from home. In August 2023, the United States Census Bureau reported a 7.5% increase in e-commerce estimates for the second quarter compared to 2022, with online sales accounting for 15.4% of all sales. This growth in e-commerce is a key factor propelling the ginger ale market.
Product innovation is a prominent trend gaining traction. Leading companies in this sector are actively introducing new products to bolster their market position. For example, in June 2021, Reed's Inc., a US-based soft drink and candy manufacturer, unveiled zero-sugar ginger ale mocktails in two novel flavors, Shirley Tempting and Transfusion. These variants contain 2,000 milligrams of fresh, organic pressed ginger, providing an energizing and certified ketogenic option for various occasions. With no calories and devoid of artificial preservatives or colors, these mocktails strike a delicate balance between a refreshing ginger flavor and a hint of sweetness, suitable for consumption straight from the can or as mixers in cocktails.
Major companies are striving to gain a competitive edge by introducing advanced solutions, such as carbonated mixers. These mixers, which are non-alcoholic beverages containing carbonated water, enhance the refreshment and effervescence of cocktails and mixed drinks. For instance, in March 2022, Diageo PLC, a UK-based beverage company, launched Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer (Non-alcoholic) and Black & White Ginger Ale. These carbonated mixers are designed to add flavor to both in-home and outdoor beverage consumption. The Johnnie Walker Refreshing Mixer is a bespoke non-alcoholic beverage crafted by the brand's master blenders, while the Black & White Ginger Ale is a light fizzy drink infused with natural flavors.
In August 2022, Stranger & Sons, an Indian-based company providing food and beverage services, acquired a 51% stake in Svami for $12 million (?1 billion).
