Global Root Beer Market Insights

Global Root Beer Market size was valued at USD 728.1 million in 2021 and is poised to grow from USD 761.59 million in 2022 to USD 1091.38 million by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 4.6% in the forecast period (2023-2030).

Root beer is growing increasingly well between millennials, and the global foodservice market is growing, which are all major drivers of market growth. Due to the closures and restrictions placed on bars, restaurants, and hotels around the globe to the Coronavirus outbreak, the supply chain and distribution of root beer were disrupted. According to the 2020 ProWein Business Report, the COVID-19 affected about 77% of hotels, causing a 60% decline in sector wide turnover while driving a 91% decline in restaurant sales by year 2020.

The lockdown and travel restrictions, however, have benefited the market in some countries. Sassafras tree root bark has traditionally been used to start making root beer, a popular drink in North America. Because of its distinct flavor and low alcohol content, the beverage is becoming more and more popular on a global scale. A number of businesses, including Dad's Root Beer, Anheuser-Busch Companies, LLC, and Keurig Dr. Pepper, are exporting their root beer. Sassafras root bark, wintergreen leaves, honey, sugar, molasses, vanilla extract, and water are the typical ingredients of non-alcoholic root beer. Black cherry bark, sassafras, vanilla, wintergreen, sweet birch, cinnamon, acacia, anise, nutmeg, licorice root, and caramel are a few of the root beer's well-known flavors. It also has a number of health benefits.

Moreover, an increase in R&D activities and a growth in modernization of recently introduced products will create new opportunities for the root beer market during the projected period. The company's rising cost of R&D activities, however, is the main restraint and it will create new challenges for the root beer market during the forecast period.

Global Root Beer Market Segmental Analysis

Global Root Beer Market is segmented based on Product, Type, Distribution Channel and region. Based on Product the market is segmented into Alcoholic and Non-alcoholic. Based on Type the market is segmented into Conventional and Diet. Based on Distribution Channel the market is segmented into On-trade and Off-trade. Based on region the Market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, South America, and MEA.

Analysis by Type

In 2021, the conventional segment accounted for the biggest portion of global revenue—more than 82.5%. Traditional root beer often has an ABV of less than 2% or is non-alcoholic. The North American continent is where it is largely consumed. Sassafras root bark was used to make traditional root beers (a North American species of tree). Traditional root beers' major flavoring and ingredient is sassafras. The Food and Drug Administration outlawed sassafras in 1960 because it contained safrole, a substance known to cause cancer. Sassafras flavoring is an artificial ingredient found in the majority of commercial root beers now on the market.

To maintain the genuine flavor of root beer, certain businesses, like Hansen Beverage, employ sassafras extract free of safrole. Over the forecast period, it is anticipated that the diet type sector will expand at a constant Rate. Due to the expanding health and wellness trends, customers are becoming more and more interested in diet root beers, including those that are sugar-free, low-sugar, caffeine-free, gluten-free, and others. The segment growth is also anticipated to be accelerated by the increasing westernization of Asia Pacific and other regions. Diet root beers, such as those with no sugar and no calories, are offered by businesses such as Keurig Dr. Pepper Inc., The Coca-Cola Corporation, Dad's Old Fashioned Root Beer, and Boylan Bottling.

Analysis by Distribution Channel

In terms of revenue, the off-trade distribution channel segment dominated with a market share of 70.9% in 2021. Root beer carts, supermarkets, hypermarkets, retail stores, caterers, beer/specialty stores, and e-commerce sites are all parts of the off-trade distribution route. The segment is anticipated to develop as a result of customer demand for e-commerce. Compared to the on-trade channel, this sales channel has grown more lately. Through off-trade channels, product sales increased as a result of the pandemic-induced lockdown. The International Wine and Spirit Record (IWSR) reported in its 2020 Drink Analysis report that the off-trade channel accounts for almost 80% of all alcohol sales in the United States.

Global Root Beer Market Regional Insights

North America dominated the market in 2021, accounting for 41.3% of global revenue. In North America, Americans consume the most root beer. In the nation, customers like soft root beer. Nonetheless, rising consumer preference for low-alcohol drinks with distinctive flavors is fueling the region's demand for hard root beer. ABVs of 5 to 6% are normal for hard root beers. The world's biggest consumer of root beer is the United States. Because it was traditionally made from the root bark of the sassafras tree, which is primarily grown in the U.S., this beverage is American in origin.

Asia-Pacific is one of the regions with the highest potential for growth in the root beer market due to changing consumer lifestyles and the influence of western culture in this region.
