The drinks segment globally reached $1,586 billion in 2021, registering an increase of 7% over that in the previous year.

The demand for retail drinks is increasing due to the introduction of new brands offering a plethora of options for consumers to choose from, be it alcoholic beverages or non-alcoholic beverages. Dairy and soy drinks have always been in demand and with a growing population, especially in countries such as India, the market size of non-alcoholic drinks is expected to increase steadily.
