The electrolyte drinks market size has grown strongly in recent years. It will grow from $29.61 billion in 2023 to $31.54 billion in 2024 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.5%. The growth observed in the historical period can be attributed to sports and fitness trends, health and wellness awareness, the rising incidence of dehydration, marketing and endorsements, and the expansion of fitness culture.
The electrolyte drinks market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $41.12 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The anticipated growth in the forecast period can be attributed to the rising demand for natural ingredients, an expanding consumer base, partnerships with health institutions, environmental sustainability, and global health crises. Major trends in the forecast period include functional ingredients and nutrients, natural and clean label products, innovative flavor profiles, sustainable packaging, and sports-specific electrolyte formulations.
The anticipated surge in sports activities is expected to drive the growth of the electrolyte drinks market in the future. Sports, defined as human activities focused on effort and skill, often involving competition or social engagement, are subject to officially established regulations and behavioral norms. Athletes commonly use electrolyte drinks to address rehydration, maintain electrolyte balance, and support energy levels lost during intense physical exertion, thereby enhancing endurance and stamina. In May 2022, the Sports & Fitness Industry Association (SFIA), a US-based trade association for sports and fitness brands, reported a 1.3 percent increase in sports and activity participation in 2021 compared to 2020. This uptick in sports engagement is a key driver behind the growth of the electrolyte drinks market.
The anticipated increase in dehydration cases is expected to drive the growth of the electrolyte drinks market in the future. Dehydration, characterized by a deficit in the body's fluid balance, occurs when the body loses more fluid than it takes in. Electrolyte drinks play a crucial role in helping individuals maintain adequate hydration levels, especially during exercise or in hot weather conditions. These beverages are formulated with a balanced mix of sodium, potassium, and other essential minerals to replenish electrolytes lost during dehydration. For example, in November 2022, Quench Inc., a US-based water technology company, reported that 75% of adults in the U.S. suffer from chronic dehydration, consuming only an average of 2.5 cups a day. This escalating incidence of dehydration is a key factor propelling the growth of the electrolyte drinks market.
To bolster their market presence, major companies in the electrolyte drinks sector are actively pursuing product innovations. In October 2022, Nutrabolt, a US-based nutrition brand, introduced XTEND Healthy Hydration aimed at enhancing hydration and amino acid recovery for individuals leading an active lifestyle. XTEND Healthy Hydration offers a diverse range of flavors, including lemon-lime, strawberry banana, and raspberry lemonade. This product not only delivers a sugar-free hydration boost but also serves as a valuable source of vitamins D and B. It employs a novel approach to efficiently transport amino acids, thereby supplying six essential electrolytes to boost hydration.
Major players in the electrolyte drinks market are actively engaged in creating innovative products, such as electrolyte drinks with a cricket theme, to assist individuals in maintaining optimal hydration levels. A cricket-themed electrolyte drink is a specially formulated beverage enriched with electrolytes to replenish essential salts and keep cricket enthusiasts hydrated. In September 2023, Reliance Consumer Products Limited, a retail sector player based in India, introduced Campa Cricket, an electrolyte-infused drink. This crisp, lemon-flavored carbonated beverage, dedicated to India's ardent cricket fans, provides a fizzy and refreshing experience while cheering for their favorite players or going about daily activities. Campa Cricket is available in various configurations, including a 250-ml pack priced at Rs 20 or a 500-ml sharing pack for Rs 30.
In November 2021, The Coca-Cola Company, a renowned US-based beverage company, completed the acquisition of Bodyarmor SuperDrink in a deal valued at $5.6 billion. This strategic move enabled Coca-Cola to diversify its product portfolio away from traditional sweetened carbonated drinks such as Sprite, Fanta, and cola, catering to the preferences of customers who seek alternatives. Bodyarmor SuperDrink, the acquired brand, is a prominent US-based electrolyte drink, contributing to Coca-Cola's expansion into the growing market for healthier beverage options.
