The broth market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $7.02 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for functional nutrition products, rising preference for low-sodium formulations, expansion of premium and specialty broth offerings, growth of online grocery channels, increasing focus on sustainable sourcing. Major trends in the forecast period include increasing demand for organic and clean-label broths, rising adoption of shelf-stable packaging formats, growing popularity of bone and functional broths, expansion of ready-to-use culinary bases, enhanced focus on flavor consistency and quality.

The increasing preference for plant-based diets is expected to drive the growth of the broth market in the coming years. A plant-based diet focuses on foods sourced from plants, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds, while limiting or avoiding animal-based products. Demand for plant-based diets is rising as consumers become more health conscious and recognize the benefits of reducing meat intake while incorporating nutrient-dense plant foods into everyday meals. This shift is boosting demand for vegetable-based broths, as consumers look for flavorful and nutritious bases for soups and cooking that align with plant-based lifestyles and deliver essential vitamins and minerals without animal-derived ingredients. For example, in May 2025, according to GOV.UK, a UK-based government website, organically farmed land in the UK totaled 503 thousand hectares in 2024, reflecting a 1% increase compared to 2023. Therefore, the growing adoption of plant-based diets is contributing to the expansion of the broth market.

Companies operating in the broth market are increasingly focusing on innovative product formulations to enhance convenience, nutritional content, and versatility for consumers. These developments are designed to meet rising demand for clean-label, functional, and easy-to-prepare broth products.

Formulated with organic ingredients such as chicken bone broth, carrots, tomatoes, shiitake mushrooms, and onions, the blend supports quick preparation of soups, stews, sauces, and other dishes, helping consumers cook more efficiently while creating healthier meals.

Through this collaboration, Kettle & Fire aims to broaden and diversify its broth portfolio by introducing a sustainably sourced and uniquely positioned product for consumers seeking clean, ethically produced, and nutrient-dense food options.
