Phoenix Research Publishes 2026 “Global Craft Soda Market Outlook – Press Release”

Global Craft Soda Market to Reach ~USD 10.3 Billion by 2033, Driven by Premiumization, Functional Fortification, and DTC Expansion

February 2026 | Phoenix Research

The Global Craft Soda Market is forecast to expand from USD 5.8 billion in 2025 to approximately USD 10.3 billion by 2033, growing at a CAGR of ~7.8% during the forecast period (2026–2033), according to the latest analysis by Phoenix Research.

The market includes flavored, functional, low-sugar, and fortified craft sodas distributed across retail outlets, specialty cafés, online platforms, and direct-to-consumer (DTC) subscription services. Craft sodas are increasingly perceived as healthier, premium alternatives to conventional carbonated beverages, catering to taste-driven and health-conscious consumers.

Craft soda has evolved from a niche artisanal category into a mainstream innovation-led beverage segment. Rising consumer demand for low-sugar, functional, and ethically produced beverages, combined with flavor experimentation, sustainable packaging, and digital engagement, is expanding adoption across mature and emerging markets.

North America currently holds the largest market share, supported by high consumer awareness of functional beverages, well-established craft soda brands, and widespread retail and e-commerce availability. Asia-Pacific is the fastest-growing region, driven by urbanization, rising disposable incomes, and growing preference for natural, low-sugar, and functional beverages among younger consumers.

Rachna Patni, Analyst – Food & Beverages Industry at Phoenix Research, stated:

“The global craft soda ecosystem is entering a premiumization and innovation-driven growth phase. Functional formulations, plant-based carbonation, AI-powered consumer analytics, and sustainable packaging solutions are reshaping market dynamics. Brands that align taste, health, and digital engagement will lead post-2025 expansion.”
