The investment landscape is favorable due to the steady shift from traditional soft drinks to functional and specialty beverages. Capital can be directed toward R&D for better formulations, cold-chain logistics, and D2C platforms. Brands that integrate sustainability and health benefits into their value propositions are likely to attract both consumers and investors.
This market encompasses both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages and is influenced by a range of regulatory policies. For non-alcoholic beverages, FSANZ oversees ingredients and health claims. Meanwhile, alcoholic RTDs are subject to excise taxes and advertising regulations. Government initiatives also promote reduced sugar content in beverages, encouraging reformulation to align with public health goals.
