This study intends to unfurl the multiple facets of global cider market and thereby examine how the short-term growth of the market will unfold during the stipulated time span.

Rising Inclination Towards Gluten Free Beverages to Augur Well for the Cider Market

Significant number of alcohol consuming individuals have shifted towards ciders over beer. This is mainly owing to the sweet and more refreshing flavor of the cider as compared to other alcoholic beverages. Moreover, it is gluten-free and this factor has played a crucial role in attracting a large pool of consumers. Growing incidences of gluten intolerance and rising prevalence of celiac diseases have triggered the demand for gluten-free food products and beverages. Moreover, gluten-free beverages promote improved digestion and maintain cholesterol levels. Additionally, cider is considered as a gender balanced beverage that can be consumed by both sexes and by millennials. In this backdrop, growing awareness among consumers regarding consumption of gluten-free beverages is expected to boost the cider market growth on the global front.

Ciders Sourced from Apples to Gain High Ground in Cider Market

Ciders sourced from apple have been gaining high traction since past several years. This can be attributed towards nutritional benefits offered and growing consumer awareness regarding consumption of apple ciders. In addition, according to the Brewing Research International, health improving antioxidants are present in ciders sourced from apples that favor human health by reducing free radicals. That said, the demand for apple ciders is expected to further increase in the coming years, consequently contributing towards revenue growth of the cider market.

In addition, availability of land and labor with a favorable business environment has translated into numerous opportunities for the establishment of breweries across emerging economies in the region. Moreover, presence of large consumer pool, and stable rise in GDP per capita is contributing towards value growth of the cider market in Asia Pacific.
