Market Dynamics

Growing Consumer Interest in Gluten-free Beverages is Expected to Fuel the Mead Beverages Market

According to a study published in the Journal of Food Science, there is a growing trend of consumers seeking gluten-free products, which include beverages. This trend is driven by a variety of factors, such as an increase in gluten intolerance and celiac disease, as well as a desire for healthier and more natural products.

Mead, a fermented beverage made from honey and water, is naturally gluten-free, which makes it an attractive option for consumers looking for gluten-free beverages. Additionally, mead has a unique and complex flavor profile that sets it apart from other gluten-free options like cider and wine.

Availability of Alternative Beverages is Holding Back the Mead Beverages Market Growth

Seasonal production can indeed hamper the growth of the mead beverages market by limiting the availability of mead throughout the year. However, it is important to note that not all mead producers have a seasonal production model and the impact of seasonality may vary depending on the region and the production practices of individual producers. For instance, a report by the Brewers Association found that seasonal beers account for a significant portion of craft beer sales in the United States, but that sales tend to drop off sharply outside of their respective seasons.

The disruption of supply chains and trade as a result of the conflict is one potential factor. Mead from these nations would become less accessible if trade between Russia and Ukraine is hampered, which might influence the market's overall supply.

The potential effect on consumer demand should also be considered. The conflict may affect the demand for mead and other alcoholic beverages if it causes a drop in consumer confidence or changes in consumer behavior.
