U.S. Beverage Grade Carbon Dioxide Market To Reach $780.1 Million By 2033

U.S. Beverage Grade Carbon Dioxide Market Growth & Trends

The U.S. beverage grade carbon dioxide market size is projected to reach USD 780.1 million by 2033, expanding at a CAGR of 4.6% from 2026 to 2030, according to Grand View Research, Inc. The expansion of foodservice outlets, quick-service restaurants, and modern beverage packaging facilities across the U.S. is driving demand for beverage grade carbon dioxide. CO2 is widely used for carbonation, modified atmosphere packaging, and cold chain applications. Investments in automated bottling and distribution infrastructure are strengthening long-term procurement contracts and market stability for suppliers.

Increasing emphasis on sustainability is creating opportunities for suppliers offering recycled or captured carbon dioxide from industrial emissions. Beverage companies are actively seeking lower-carbon footprint inputs to meet their ESG goals, enabling CO2 producers with sustainable sourcing technologies to differentiate their offerings and secure long-term contracts in the U.S. beverage-grade carbon dioxide industry.

The carbonated soft drinks segment captured the largest revenue share of 38.6% in 2025. Extensive distribution networks across supermarkets, convenience stores, vending channels, and foodservice outlets enable the production of large volumes of carbonated soft drinks. This wide retail penetration ensures a stable offtake of beverage-grade carbon dioxide, supported by long-term supply contracts and predictable demand cycles.

West Coast dominated the market with a revenue share of 24.6% in 2025. Strong regulatory focus and corporate sustainability goals in the region encourage the use of recycled and low-carbon CO2. Beverage producers are increasingly partnering with suppliers that offer captured CO2 solutions, thereby supporting the regional market growth.
