Coconut Water Global Market Insights and Forecast to 2027 - Growing Preference for Natural & Plant-based Drinks

DUBLIN, Dec. 4, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- The "Global Coconut Water Market (By Type, Form, Packaging, Distribution Channel, & Region): Insights and Forecast (2022-2027)" report has been added to  ResearchAndMarkets.com's offering.

The global coconut water market is expected to be valued at US$6.64 billion in 2023, witnessing growth at a CAGR of 15.26%, during the forecasted period.

Given the increasing inclination of consumers towards health and wellness products, the consumption of functional drinks such as coconut water is rising in the western countries including US, U.K., and Germany. Moreover, the growing consumer awareness towards numerous health benefits of coconut water in improving digestive functioning, reducing hypertension, and maintaining hydration levels is further propelling the market growth. Therefore, increasing inclination of consumers towards health and wellness has boosted the consumption of coconut water and encouraged the market overall growth.

Huge Gap between the Two Ends of the Coconut Water Supply Chain

The coconut market is left in such a situation whereby farmers receive about US$0.12-US$0.25 per coconut and earn anything between US$72-US$7,000 a year, according to Fair Trade USA. In contrast, the average serving of coconut water sells for US$1.50 in the US, or £1.85 in a UK supermarket for a 330ml carton. Unfortunately, there's nothing new about the appalling gap between what farmers earn at one end of the supply chain, and food and beverage companies' profits at the other. These farmers have limited knowledge of such products and access to the technology that can produce the products. So it is that the stark gap between the two ends of the coconut water supply chain is only growing further apart. Such unfavorable conditions of farmers is resulting in declining volume of production, which is causing the failure of meeting the demand in the world market. Consequently, the huge gap between the two ends of the coconut water supply chain limits the coconut water market growth.

Growing Preference for Natural & Plant-based Drinks

The growth in plant-based beverage market is continuously helping in increasing the adoption of coconut water. Natural low-sugar drinks are appreciated by the consumers which is resulting in the increasing sales of coconut water across various countries. Some of the replacements for dairy drinks that are used most often are cereal, nut and coconut-based drinks. Coconut water is also used as an ingredient in plant-based drinks, not only because of the reduction of sugar intake, but also because it improves the overall nutritional value of the final product. Accordingly, growing preference for natural and plant-based drinks is estimated to help in the expansion of coconut water market, globally.
