Cider Market Trends
This section covers the major market trends shaping the Cider Market according to our research experts:
Surge in Demand for Gluten-Free Alcoholic Beverages
A growing number of alcohol consumers prefer cider over a beer as it is gluten-free, and often sweeter and more refreshing than beer during summer. Various cider manufacturers such as ACE Cider and Crispin Cider Co. claim that most of their cider are naturally gluten-free because cider comes directly from apples which contain zero gluten. Rising instances of gluten-intolerance, associated with celiac disease and increase in knowledge of consuming quality food and beverage is propelling the demand for gluten-free products. Additionally, gluten-free beverages are believed to improve cholesterol levels and promote digestive health. Thus, consumers are inclined towards natural and nutrient-based drinks, which provide health benefits and immunization. Health attributes are particularly important to develop countries, in which consumers are willing to pay a premium price for more health benefits in a product. Thus, with rising instances of celiac disease and increasing demand for gluten-free products, the demand for cider is expected to rise as a suitable gluten-free alternative to beer.
