The addition of fruits to beer can create a refreshing, sweet, and fruity taste that may not be found in traditional beer styles. It can provide some health benefits due to the presence of antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals found in the fruit used. This can make it a healthier alternative to traditional beer for consumers looking for a healthier beverage option.
The COVID-19 pandemic has mixed impact on the global market. Disruptions in global supply chains led to shortages in some ingredients used in fruit beer production. This has resulted in higher prices for some fruit beers. Whereas the closure of bars and restaurants during the pandemic resulted in a decrease in sales of draft fruit beer and on-premise sales of bottled and canned fruit beer. However, with more consumers shopping online due to social distancing measures, e-commerce platforms have seen an increase in sales of fruit beer and other alcoholic beverages.
Industry Dynamics
Growth Drivers
Consumer preference towards alcohol-free fruit beer is certainly driving the growth of the fruit beer market. Many consumers are looking for non-alcoholic beverage options due to health concerns, designated driving, or personal preference, and the availability of alcohol-free fruit beer provides a solution for those who still want to enjoy the flavor experience of beer. For example, as per the World Health Organization, alcohol abuse accounts for 7.1% and 2.2%, respectively, of the global burden of illness in men and women. 10% of all deaths in this age range are related to alcohol use, making it the largest risk factor for early mortality and disability. To avoid issues regarding health, consumers are shifting towards alcohol free or low-alcohol beverages. As a result, this factor is boosting the sales of fruit beer among population of various countries worldwide.
The increasing e-commerce industry is playing a vital role in thriving the global market. As e-commerce platforms provide an opportunity for breweries to expand their reach and sell their products to consumers who may not have access to their products through traditional retail channels. This allows breweries to reach a wider customer base and potentially increase their sales. For example, over 2.3 billion people are anticipated to make online purchases in 2022. In 2022, the US, one of the largest e-commerce markets, had about 268 million online consumers. The increasing e-commerce industry provides an opportunity for breweries to expand their reach, increase sales, and offer customized product options. This can lead to the boom of the global market as breweries can reach a wider customer base and potentially increase their profits.
