Food and Beverages Global Market Report 2024
The food & beverages e-commerce market size has grown exponentially in recent years. It will grow from $69.77 billion in 2023 to $85.25 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 22.2%. The growth observed in the historical period can be ascribed to the escalation in demand for clean-label, organic, and non-GMO products, an upsurge in alcohol consumption, a higher rate of pet ownership among Generation Z and Generation Y adults, robust economic growth in emerging markets, the impact of heightened demand for processed foods, increased awareness regarding the benefits of organic products, and a growing population of health-conscious consumers.The food & beverages e-commerce market size is expected to see exponential growth in the next few years. It will grow to $180.77 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 20.7%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period is linked to the increasing presence of organized retail, a rising demand for ready-to-eat products, accelerated economic growth, and a global population increase. Key trends during this period encompass a dedication to utilizing natural ingredients in products to address consumer health concerns, a focus on providing functional beverages for hydration and nutritional benefits, an emphasis on micro-distilled/artisan spirits to meet the growing demand, the application of high-pressure pasteurization techniques to preserve nutrients and eliminate harmful microorganisms, a commitment to offering clean label products in response to the growing awareness of healthy food, a push towards adopting robotics and automation technology for maximizing production efficiency, a concentration on using innovative filter technologies to reduce toxicants in cigarettes and enhance the smoking experience, an emphasis on offering products through e-commerce platforms, and a commitment to utilizing artisanal cooking methods for food and beverage preparation.Numerous countries worldwide are witnessing a decline in crop prices due to overcapacity, which is expected to lead to lower raw material costs for food and beverage companies. As reported by the India-based national magazine on agriculture, Frontline, in November 2022, the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs announced a Rs 7000 crore bailout package for farmers in the sugar production sector. This initiative aimed to establish a minimum selling price of refined sugar at Rs 29 per kilogram, responding to recent price drops to Rs 23-24 due to overproduction. The plan also included creating a buffer stock of 3 million tons of sugar for one year. Consequently, the overproduction of certain crops is likely to result in higher profit margins for food and beverage companies, enabling them to enhance productivity and drive the market forward.The anticipated growth of the food and beverage market is expected to be propelled by rising disposable income. Disposable income, representing the money available for spending and saving after deducting taxes from gross income, is a key factor influencing consumer preferences. Individuals or households with higher disposable income tend to spend more on premium, specialty, and healthier food and drinks, leading to increased consumer spending, dining out, and exploration of new gastronomic experiences. For example, in September 2023, the UK-based government department, the Office for National Statistics, reported a 3.6% increase in gross disposable household income (GDHI) in the UK in 2021 compared to the previous year, 2020. Consequently, the upswing in disposable income is a driving force behind the growth of the food and beverages market.Frozen food manufacturers are adopting technologies such as individual quick freezing (IQF) to enhance the yield and quality of their products. The IQF method involves rapidly freezing individual food items on a conveyor belt in a blast freezer. This technique freezes each piece of food separately, as opposed to bulk or block freezing, resulting in increased yield (1.5-3%) and better-quality products with high nutritional value and reduced wastage. Examples of IQF foods include fruits such as blueberries, strawberries, and peaches, as well as vegetables such as corn, peas, and green beans. The global IQF vegetable market is projected to reach $2 billion by 2026, indicating substantial demand for IQF food products in the future.Major companies in the food and beverage market are concentrating on developing innovative products, including clean-label items, vegan cheeses, egg substitutes, and more, to fortify their positions. Plant-based food and drink, derived from plants such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, nuts, seeds, legumes, fungi, and algae, offer a range of health benefits. In July 2022, Century Pacific Food, Inc., a Philippines-based food and beverage company, introduced the innovative plant-based alternative 'unMEAT Fish-free Tuna.' This 100% fish-free product utilizes plant-based, non-GMO ingredients, offering a low-fat alternative with zero mercury and trans-fat content. The product replicates the taste, texture, and appearance of tuna without any fish components.Major companies operating in the food and beverages market report are Nestle S.A, PepsiCo, Inc., JBS S.A, Anheuser-Busch InBev, Tyson Foods Inc., Archer-Daniels-Midland Company (ADM), Mars, Incorporated, Imperial brands PLC, The Coca-Cola Company, Cargill, Dabur, Amul, Asahi Soft Drinks Co Ltd., Red Bull, Del Monte fresh produce Ltd., Fonterra Meiji Co Ltd., Dali Foods Group Co Ltd., Hangzhou Wahaha Group Co, Ltd., Nongfu Spring, China Haisheng Juice Holdings Co Ltd., Britannia Industries Ltd., Otsuka Holdings Co Ltd., Suntory Beverage & Food Ltd., Glanbia, PLC, Royal Frieslandcampina N.
