Over the years, sparkling drinks with low or zero sugar and zero-calorie content are gaining popularity among young, health-conscious consumers.
In 2024, the supermarket distribution channel held the largest revenue share of the market. The factors, such as easy product accessibility, well-organized shelves, and provision of home delivery and “click and collect” services, have boosted the sales of the products through these distribution channels. Lately, products containing vitamins and flavors including orange, lemon, apple, and mixed berries have been making space on supermarket shelves. Europe dominated the market in 2024, accounting for the highest revenue share, owing to the high product consumption as a healthier alternative to other sugary carbonated beverages. The presence of several manufacturers in Europe will further boost market growth over the forecast years.
The market is characterized by significant competition owing to the presence of key players with a strong global presence and vast distribution networks. Companies have been introducing healthy and innovative flavors to attract consumers. For instance, on 14 January 2025, RECOVER 180 launched two new flavors: strawberry lemonade and tropical punch.
