alcohol-based concentrates Market Trends

There is a noticeable growth in the global market for alcohol-based concentrates owing to the increasing prevalence of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails as well as the craft cocktail phenomenon. Nowadays, consumers tend to want more ready-to-consumer products with obedience towards unique tastes, thereby creating a great demand for pre-mixed alcoholic drinks amenable to alcohol concentrates. This is more so among the youth who enjoy new ways of drinking, which, in turn, compels brands to develop new tastes and high-quality ingredients. One more important aspect is the health consciousness among the target consumers, and this has led the companies to offer products that have low alcohol content and even no alcohol at all with the help of alcohol concentrates. This meets the changing consumer interest whereby we are witnessing the introduction of the products that provide the functional benefits of alcohol with none of the intoxicating drawbacks. In addition, there is a growing concern about the sustainability of all business activities, and this has seen predatory brands use sustainable practices such as green packaging to attract such a market. Consequently, the market is witnessing changes in product content, such as the inclusion of organic and natural components, in response to the taste and health consciousness of consumers today.

The year 2023 is marking the onset of a rising trend in the applicability of taste varieties, especially for cocktails and sweets, among a range of market participants. The expected compound annual growth rate (CAGR) surfaces a growth in product premiumization and product development, which has resulted in manufacturers using expensive and healthy ingredients in the mixtures to tempt the ever-growing health-conscious consumers. The white space is dominated by companies like Givaudan, Kerry Group, Firmenich International, and Symrise, which in turn leads to barriers to entry of new businesses through strategic alliances, acquisitions, and product development.

Challenges In alcohol-based concentrates Market

The worldwide market for alcohol-based concentrates encounters various constraints, most of which include overregulation and changing consumer tastes. Strict laws limiting the production, distribution, or advertising of alcoholic drinks vary greatly by every region, making it difficult for manufacturers and suppliers. Such rules often go along with the need to obtain certain licenses, taxation, age limitations, and many more, thus stifling passion to operate in the market. Furthermore, concerns about drinking habits and health factors related to alcohol consumption have increased the need for alternatives to traditional alcohol-based concentrates, thus reducing the appeal of more traditional ones. One more challenge in this market can be explained by the growing number of competitors and new product attics targeting younger audiences, like non-alcoholic spirits or different ready-to-drink cocktails. Nowadays, as the health trend spreads among the consumers, they are more likely to look for more advanced drink options that satisfy taste but do not have alcohol content; this may also pose a threat to the market of concentrate essences.

Since the rise of social media, brands have seen the opportunity in changing the tide and have targeted such audiences through content, recipes, and promotions that are in place.

Merger and acquisition

The demand and consumption of alcohol-based concentrates globally have remained positive to the extent that a number of mergers and acquisitions have been experienced in 2024, a characteristic of competitiveness and strategic realignment in the sector in a bid to meet the changes in behaviour owing to the consumer.
