Overview

June 2026 research projected the global malt‑based drinks market to grow from $27.2 bn (2025) to $39.2 bn by 2033, while U.S. ready‑to‑drink tea was forecast at $19 bn by 2035. Beetroot and green‑tea supplement segments were expected to double to $352 mn and $744 mn, driven by health awareness and micro‑encapsulation. July outlooks added spices and marine‑derived ingredients, with curry powder projected at $1.38 bn and seaweed extracts at $8.8 bn by 2033. The worldwide dietary‑supplement sector was seen rising from $209.5 bn in 2025 to $431.7 bn by 2033, Europe contributing $124.5 bn by 2030 and Spain emerging as a leader in sports nutrition and nutricosmetics. The ready‑to‑drink protein beverage market, valued at $1.96 bn in 2025, is expected to reach $3.06 bn by 2031 (7.7 % CAGR), with Generation Z driving demand across the U.S., Asia and Europe and plant‑based proteins (pea, soy, sunflower) gaining share, especially in Colombia where 66 % reported recent supplement use. Functional coffees and hyper‑convenient formats are extending the trend. In July, Spanish firm Eiralabs launched a creatine‑centric functional hydration drink, and plant‑based protein drinks have more than doubled launch volume since 2020, moving into smoothies, functional coffees and meal‑replacement formats. In the United Kingdom, about 25 % of adults and 37 % of 25‑34‑year‑olds regularly use protein shakes, often mixed into coffee or yoghurt.

Late July 2026 saw Brazil’s Hydro Protein introduce a 500 ml ready‑to‑drink containing 20 g protein, electrolytes and BCAA, with zero added sugar and 90 calories. A Cargill survey indicated 61 % of U.S. consumers increased protein intake in 2024, up from 48 % in 2019, underscoring the expanding role of protein in functional foods and the spread of such launches into new markets.
