NEW YORK, Sept. 23, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- The global beverage market can be segmented into non-alcoholic and alcoholic categories. The non-alcoholic beverage market includes products such as soft drinks (soda), fruit juices, syrup, caffeinated drinks, sports drinks, coffee, and tea. Meanwhile, the alcoholic beverage market includes categories such as brewing, distilled spirits, and wines. By region, the Asia-Pacific region reigns supreme; according to a report by PipeCandy, the high consumption in Indian and Chinese markets drive growth for the non-alcoholic beverage industry in the APAC region. Previously, the carbonated soft drinks (CSD) segment was the main driver for revenue in this region. But, in recent times the consumption of CSD has declined as young consumers are preferring healthier alternatives. In the U.S, growth in the segment is also driven by changing trends as subcategories such as are fresh juices, enhanced water, RTD coffee and tea, as well as probiotic drinks are becoming more popular. Overall, the global non-alcoholic beverages market is projected to grow with a significant growth rate of 4.61% from 2019 to 2024 and reach a market value of USD 1073.9 Billion by the end of 2024, according to data by Market Research future.
