Global Hard Seltzer Market Dynamics:
Increasing Consumer Preference for Low-Calorie and Health-Conscious Beverages:
The expansion of the global hard seltzer market is fueled by changing customer needs regarding healthier, low-calorie alcoholic beverages. Over the years, with the increase of health consciousness, especially among millennials and gen Z, there has been a sustained shift from traditional high-calorie beers and cocktails drenched in syrup towards smarter alternatives. The seltzers, which are low in sugar, gluten-free and come in refreshing flavors are very much in trend.
Brands are tapping into this growing consumer need by launching new flavors so that their product can be marketed as a guilt-free indulgence. More so, the increased focus on fitness and overall wellbeing has further increased the popularity of hard seltzers because they have often been associated with being a better-for-you drink. This trend is likely to sustain challenging producers to use clean-label and self-evident marketing to appeal to such conscious consumers.
Expansion of Distribution Channels and E-Commerce Growth:
Hard seltzers have an advantage in the framing of marketing channels due to the rise in e-commerce. Online purchasing is made easier by the use of smartphones and the broad availability of the internet. These factors motivate consumers to shop for hard seltzers more frequently. Retailers and brands are taking advantage of these trends by marketing via the internet, offering subscription options, and providing personalized delivery straight to shoppers’ doors.
Moreover, the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated the adoption of online sales of alcohol, a trend which persists today. With super markets, liquor stores, and bars expanding their range of hard seltzers, availability of the products is at an all-time high. This trend is not only boosting market expansion but also allows brands to address the growing needs of consumers in different regions of the world.
Flavor Innovation and Product Diversification:
Product diversification and innovation are paramount to the global hard seltzer market because brands are constantly trying to set themselves apart. They find resonance with niche markets that have a strong inclination towards celebrity culture, making limited edition releases with collaborators go viral and shift units. Marketers and consumers alike have shown interest toward the marriage of tropical fruits, botanicals, and seasonal rigid seltzer, with the foreign regions setting the pace for this endeavor by creating artificially exotic flavors that appeal to the masses.
This serves a dual purpose: quenching the thirst of consumers in off seasons and creating brand loyalty through repeat purchases. In addition, brands have altered their rigid seltzer offerings by introducing an assortment of alcohol levels, caffeine, and even variety infused with CBD. Companies that are delving into these cross marketing strategies alongside placing emphasis on product quality are more likely to secure profit margins with increased competition.
