Asia Pacific is projected to grow at the fastest CAGR in the global functional beverages market over the forecast period. Emerging countries in the region are witnessing a surge in health-conscious consumers, which will create demand for functional beverages, including energy beverages and fortified juices. The busy lifestyle of the growing urban middle-class population and the lack of nutritional ingredients in an individual’s diet are driving the functional beverages market growth. Moreover, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, the market across Asia-Pacific witnessed a surge in demand for healthy products that boost immunity. Therefore, manufacturers are incorporating various immunity-boosting and natural ingredients in their products to meet the specific requirements of consumers across the region. Moreover, the prominent manufacturers in the functional beverages market across Asia-Pacific are also lowering the sugar content in their products to target calorie-conscious consumers. For instance, companies such as PepsiCo and The Coca-Cola Company have pledged to eliminate artificial additives and lower the amount of sugar in their products. Therefore, such initiatives taken by manufacturers are likely to boost the demand for functional beverages over the coming years.

These factors have boosted the innovation in the functional beverages market. According to the International Food Information Council's 2021 Food and Health Survey, more than four out of ten buyers believe plant-based alternatives are healthier even when two products have similar ingredients and provide similar nutritional benefits. Therefore, manufacturers are increasingly developing vegan-friendly, plant-based functional beverages to cater to the emerging consumer trends. These factors are further projected to drive the growth of functional beverages market share over the coming years.

Impact of COVID-19 Pandemic on Functional Beverages Market
The COVID-19 pandemic brought unprecedented challenges across many sectors, such as the food & beverages, and nutraceuticals industries. Lockdowns, border restrictions, travel restrictions, manufacturing units’ shutdown, and other safety protocols imposed by governments negatively impacted the operations of manufacturing companies. Due to the raw material shortage, many functional beverages manufacturers suffered from short-term financial losses. There was a shortfall in the product supply due to supply chain disruptions and labor shortages. All these factors negatively impacted the functional beverages market. However, as the concerns related to health and fitness increased due to the outbreak, the demand for functional beverages increased dramatically as functional beverages offer specific health benefits that are beyond the regular daily intake of nutrients, such as improved bone health, cholesterol management, improved heart health, and other benefits associated with eye health and vision. Further, the manufacturers are increasing their production due to ease in the restrictions imposed by the government, thereby boosting the functional beverages market growth.
