Increased global health and wellbeing have made consumers focus on functional beverages with extra health benefits such as gut health, hydration, and immune support. Consumers prefer drinks that improve general health instead of sugary sodas while staying healthy and adopting better lives.

Natural and Plant-Based Ingredients: As the vegan and clean-label movements continue to grow, the consumer is increasingly seeking function beverages prepared with natural and plant-based ingredients. As customers look for beverages that reflect their ideals and provide both environmental sustainability as well as health benefits, infused drinks with herbs, botanicals, and superfoods continue to gain popularity.

In 2024, Asia-Pacific accounted for a considerable revenue share of 36.06%, primarily because of the growing demand for functional beverages in the region. China has the most diabetic people, with 141.0 million instances, while more than 74.0 million adults had the disease in India, according to the International Diabetes Federation in 2021. The ever-mounting health threat has obliged gigantic beverage manufacturers such as PepsiCo and Coca-Cola to rebalance their product offerings. To keep pace with surging wellness-oriented drink orders from health-conscious Asia Pacific consumers, these companies focus more on removing artificial substances, reducing sugar content, and introducing better functional drink products.
