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.

Major companies in the ginger market are emphasizing advanced technologies, such as enzyme-assisted extraction (EAE), to strengthen their competitive edge. Enzyme-assisted extraction uses specific enzymes to selectively break down plant cell walls, increasing the yield and purity of active ginger compounds while reducing energy consumption. For example, in August 2024, The Glenwalk, an India-based beverage brand, launched its “Zero-Calorie Ginger Ale,” featuring natural ginger flavor produced through advanced extraction, a bold spice blend for heightened sensory appeal, and a zero-calorie formulation designed for health-conscious consumers. This innovation supports clean-label positioning and enables premium pricing. However, the adoption of enzyme-assisted extraction requires updated processing infrastructure and higher initial investment, which may limit uptake among small-scale farming operations with limited access to advanced technology.
