A new market research report estimates that the global malt‑based drinks market, valued at $27.2 billion in 2025, could grow to $39.2 billion by 2033, representing a compound annual growth rate of about 4.7 %. The analysis cites rising consumer interest in nutritious, energy‑boosting beverages and expanding product portfolios for both children and adults as key drivers.

A separate forecast for the United States ready‑to‑drink (RTD) tea segment shows market value of $12.6 billion in 2025, with expectations to rise to $19.0 billion by 2035, at a 4.2 % CAGR.

The findings suggest continued expansion across beverage categories, with manufacturers focusing on product innovation, premiumization, and strategic partnerships to capture evolving consumer preferences.
