Industry Insights, Market Size, CAGR, High-Level Analysis: Ready To Drink Premixes Market


The global ready to drink premixes market size was valued at USD 18.34 billion in 2018 and is estimated to expand at a CAGR of 4.5% over the forecast period. Increasing popularity of Ready-To-Drink (RTD) beverages and demand for high strength premixes are projected to drive the market. Moreover, changing lifestyles and demand for low alcohol content flavored drinks are expected to fuel the RTD/high strength premixes market growth further.
Rising popularity of healthy alcoholic drinks is also driving the product demand. In addition, rising acceptance of ethnic drinks in developed regions and the advent of alcoholic high-strength premixes with natural and health-promoting ingredients are anticipated to propel the product demand. Furthermore, growing investments by bars and pubs in low spirit flavored beverages will boost the product demand.
 

On the other hand, factors, such as religious or cultural beliefs in several countries, heavy taxation and duties, and adverse health effects of alcohol may hinder the market growth. In addition, stringent rules and regulations on the advertising of alcoholic products and growing number of anti-alcohol campaigns are also having a negative impact on the market growth.
Furthermore, easy availability of substitute products is grabbing consumer attention. For instance, drinks like Cloud 9 and Red Bull are gaining popularity across the globe. North America region led the global high strength premixes market in 2018 and is projected to expand further at a relatively high CAGR from 2019 to 2025.
