The escalating demand for ready-to-drink cocktails is anticipated to drive the expansion of the ginger market in the future. Ready-to-drink cocktails refer to pre-mixed alcoholic beverages that necessitate no additional preparation and can be directly consumed from their packaging. This trend is gaining traction as consumers prioritize convenient yet flavorsome options for their drinking choices. Ginger plays a crucial role in ready-to-drink beverages by imparting a lively and refreshing flavor profile. Moreover, it contributes to the complexity of cocktail recipes, harmonizing with other flavors and adding depth. For example, according to the Distilled Spirits Council (DISCUS) in February 2024, the US saw a notable surge in revenue within the ready-to-drink (RTD) category, particularly in premixed cocktails including spirits ready-to-drink, witnessing a 26.8% increase amounting to $599 million, reaching $2.8 billion by 2023. Hence, the increasing desire for pre-mixed cocktails is propelling the expansion of the ginger market.
