The global fruit beer market is projected to robustly grow in the forecast period because of the growing preference for low alcohol content, a comprehensive offering by market players. Fruit beer is a mild variety of beer that tastes of sweet fruits. It is made from malt-scented strawberries, plums, raspberries, and cherries. It is a flavoring or additive-containing form. Fruit beer was first manufactured in Belgium and is now sold everywhere. Fruits offer a wide variety of natural flavor options for brewing beer, especially with so many new brews and flavor combinations emerging in the market.
Okay, so get thisover the last five years, about 10% of all new beers worldwide have been playing with fruity flavors – think concentrated juice, flavor extracts, or even just fruit peel. Big names like Anheuser-Busch and Carlsberg are doing it too, after seeing how popular shandies got in Europe. But it's not just about the beer itself. Fruit beer brands are really trying to connect with people in today's world, changing how they talk about their products. They're all over social media, doing hashtag campaigns, giveaways, and even partnering up with others in cool barter deals. Basically, they're marketing their breweries and beers in a way that grabs attention and gets people talking – and sharing – on their own social media. All this creative marketing is helping them get noticed online, making it easier for people to find them, and letting them actually connect with their customers. It's all about reaching out and building those relationships.
Rising Health Consciousness Fueling the Market Growth
Did you know that, according to the World Health Organization, alcoholism is responsible for a staggering 3 million deaths each year, accounting for 5.3% of all deaths? It also contributes around 5.1% to the global disease and injury burden. But hey, on a lighter note, fruit beers are often seen as a gentler option compared to regular brews, with less worry about harming your liver or kidneys. Plus, with their delicious fruity aroma and taste, along with some perceived health perks, it's easy to see why people are reaching for them. Fruit beer can be a source of soluble dietary fiber, folic acid, vitamin E, and other goodies. Some even believe these minerals could help lower the risk of heart attacks! Plus, these drinks typically pack a decent punch of fiber, potassium, and calcium, and help keep you hydrated. So, you can enjoy it as a fun beverage and maybe get a little health boost too. All this buzz around healthier options is really fueling the popularity of fruit beer around the globe!
New Product Launches Aiding the Market Growth
These days, especially millennials, people are gravitating towards beers with lower alcohol content. They're craving more choice and something really refreshing. So, you've got the fruit beer folks constantly rolling out new stuff! They're beefing up their product lines to grab more attention and give us a wider selection. Take, for example, 2022 when Kenya Breweries Limited dropped Rockshore Tropical Lager – a brand spanking new, alcoholic, fruit-flavored beer under the KBL light beer umbrella. This new brew has 4.2% ABV and gets its tropical kick from real pineapple and passion fruit sourced from Africa. Also in 2022, Sonnen Hill Brewing launched their limited-edition fruit ale, i.e., raspberry and blackberry beer, found at at Sonnen Hill retail shops and online retailers. All this innovation is expected to really boost the fruit beer market in the years to come!
Increasing Number of Bars and Restaurants Boosting the Market Growth
The increasing number of restaurants, pubs, and cafés along with the younger generation's shifting preference for fruit brews over alcoholic beverages are fueling the demand for fruit beer worldwide. The social habit of hanging out with friends in bars and pubs drives up the need for international fruit beers, positively influencing segment growth. In Belgium, the 408 breweries, which produce more than 1500 distinct beers, invested USD310.79 million in breweries and the hotel and catering industry in 2021. Such factors are projected to further expand the market growth in the forecast period.
