- What are the 2023 Flavour trends for food and beverage?
Beverage Trend 1: Mix and Mingle
Adventure and indulgence have taken on a new meaning in today’s uncertain economy. Consumers want achievable excitement and playfulness from their beverages, which is spurring unlikely combinations like spicy habanero and sweet mango, mashups of familiar drinks, fusion cuisines and unconventional flavour pairings.
Market example: A canned mango habanero agua fresca made with real fruit.
Beverage Trend 2: Off the Reel
Social media and the emphasis on visual currency have influenced food and beverage trends at a rapid pace. New recipes and over-the-top beverage creations dressed up with abundant inclusions and toppings – such as vibrant glitters and sprinkles – have an element of familiarity that attract consumer curiosity.
Market example: A gin with glitter, perfect for festive nights and impressive cocktails.
Beverage Trend 3: Maximizing Taste
With technological refinement in taste and texture, consumers expect healthy, nutritious, better-for-you and sustainable alternatives to deliver the same taste experience and flavour intensity as mainstream food and beverages.
Market example: A prickly pear-flavoured non-carbonated drink made with cactus water.
Beverage Trend 4: Joy in Simple Things
In a fast-paced culture, the simplicity of familiar and comforting flavours continues to bring joy to consumers. While simple flavours thrive in a recessionary environment, nostalgia, comfort and familiarity drive an everlasting appreciation for simple things.
Market example: Ready-to-drink iced coffees showcasing indulgent classics such as cake batter doughnuts, coffee cake muffins and brownie batter doughnuts.
Beverage Trend 5: Roots and Origins
Age-old practices, ingredients and recipes are experiencing a revival. Origin stories and lost traditions are finding a new home amid the post-modernization of food coming full circle to authentic and wholesome experiences.
- How technology is creating a wide scope …
Over the years, food manufacturers and restaurants have embraced technology to enhance productivity, efficiency, food quality, and customer experiences. Popular technologies revolutionizing the food and beverage industry include 3D printing, data analytics, precision agriculture, GMOs, and robotics.
- What are the future trends of India's Non-alcoholic Beverage Market?
India’s non-alcoholic beverages market may expand at a compound annual growth rate of 8.7% to reach₹1.47 a trillion by 2030, according to a new report. In 2019, the size of the overall beverages market that includes carbonated soft drinks, juices, bottled water, and fruit-based beverages was₹67,100 crore, the report from economic policy think tank ICRIER said. While carbonated soft drinks (CSDs), ready-to-drink teas (RTDs), energy drinks, and sports drinks accounted for more than 60% of the global market, in India, carbonated beverages are the most popular, followed by bottled water, fruit beverages, and juices.
However, the report pointed to a shift in consumption patterns, indicating that CSDs are growing at a lower rate, while consumption across segments such as packaged water, sports drinks, and tea and coffee-based drinks is increasing.
“While the market share of CSDs is the highest, the highest socio-economic class A is moving away from the consumption of CSDs," the report said.
Between 2010 and 2019, India’s non-alcoholic beverages market grew at 14.5% in terms of total sales volume, and 13.72% in terms of total sales value. The market size was valued at $12.15 billion in 2019 compared to $3.5 billion in 2010.
“Existing companies are diversifying their product portfolio and many startups and small and medium-sized enterprises have entered this sector in the last 10 years. The survey found that 35% of the companies have introduced new products in the Indian market, which include zero-sugar or sugar-free products and other products like tea and coffee-based drinks, and organic drinks," the report said.
However, despite the size and scale of the market, India’s per capita annual sales at 21.36 litres in 2018 is much lower than per capita sales in other developing countries like the Philippines which stood at 111.89 litres and Vietnam at about 69.75 litres in the same year. Meanwhile, India’s revenue per person from the sale of such beverages was estimated at $8.89 in 2019, much lower compared to markets such as $1,030 in the US and $67.05 in China. The sector is also heavily taxed to deter consumers from excessive consumption of sugary beverages. Most non-alcoholic beverages are taxed at a standard rate of 12-18% or the highest rate of 28%.
- What are your expectations from the Indian market and consumers?
Revenue is expected to show an annual growth rate (CAGR 2023-2027) of 11.53%, resulting in a projected market volume of US$2,635.00m by 2027. As per the market size, there is a huge opportunity to expand in the Indian market. As a strategic plan, we would be getting into the Indian market with an affordable energy drink lag line where even ordinary people can have it without burning huge cash. Indian consumer stick to taste and when we give the best product at an affordable price we are confident that we can reach to a maximum consumer in India.
- Any expansion plan you are looking for future?
We also have a plan to come up with a premium energy drink soon, with the product which is the best product in this division. We also have the plan to come up with a Vitamin drink which has huge scope in the Indian market along with energy shots. Apart from India, we are all set to launch in all our neighbouring countries soon.
