November 06, 2024 | Food & Beverages

According to the latest report by IMARC Group, titled “Hard Seltzer Market Report by ABV Content (1% to 4.9%, 5% to 6.9%, 7% and Above), Packaging Material (Cans, Glass, and Others), Distribution Channel (Supermarkets and Hypermarkets, Online Stores, and Others), Flavor (Cherry, Grapefruit, Mango, Lime, and Others), and Region 2025-2033,” the global hard seltzer market size reached USD 7.9 Billion in 2024. Hard seltzer is an alcoholic beverage that is prepared by fermenting cane sugar or malted barley and then carbonating the resulting liquid. It is a light drink and has a refreshing taste, often infused with various natural flavors, such as lime, berry, or mango. It is generally low in calories and carbohydrates, making it a favored choice for health-conscious consumers. Its appeal also lies in its gluten-free options and versatility, as it can be consumed on its own or used as a base for mixed drinks. The beverage is seeing a rise in popularity, particularly among individuals who are mindful of their health and those with specific medical conditions such as allergies, celiac disease, and various inflammatory or autoimmune disorders.


Global Hard Seltzer Market Trends:

The global market is primarily driven by changing consumer preferences that are evolving toward beverages that are perceived as healthier or less indulgent. Hard seltzers typically contain fewer calories and carbohydrates compared to traditional beers or mixed drinks, making them a popular choice among health-conscious individuals. Moreover, the versatility of hard seltzer appeals to a broad audience. Whether enjoyed alone or as a cocktail base, its various flavors offer something for everyone. This flexibility also makes it a favorite for social gatherings and events. In addition to health and versatility, convenience plays a significant role. Hard seltzers are often sold in ready-to-drink cans, making them easy to transport and consume without the need for additional mixers or equipment. This convenience factor has resonance with younger consumers, including millennials and Gen Z, who are a vital demographic for the market's growth. Besides, the legal framework allowing for the sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages, including hard seltzers, remains generally favorable, further facilitating the market. Furthermore, marketing strategies, including social media campaigns and influencer endorsements, have also contributed to raising awareness and driving sales. On account of the aforementioned factors, the market is anticipated to reach a value of USD 20.6 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a CAGR of 11.16% during 2025-2033.
