The global functional shots market size is expected to reach USD 2.06 billion by 2030, exhibiting a CAGR 14.9% from 2024 to 2030, according to a new report by Grand View Research, Inc. Rising consumer awareness regarding preventive healthcare-due to the increasing prevalence of various diseases and fast-paced, hectic lifestyles-is driving individuals to seek convenient and nutritious food options. Functional shots are developed using various natural and functional ingredients, such as adaptogens, antioxidants, and vitamins, which help meet the growing demand for preventive health measures and wellness solutions.
According to an article by BNP Media's Beverage Industry, rising consumer awareness is driving significant growth in the gut-health beverages segment. There is ample opportunity to educate consumers about the distinctions between pro- and prebiotics, allowing brands to deepen consumer understanding and foster informed choices among those seeking digestive health solutions. For instance, in November 2019, Good Culture, a dairy brand of clean-label products, announced the launch of its Wellness Probiotic Gut Shots to gain an advantage in the emerging market of probiotic shots by merging them with functional ingredients.
Consumer trends and preferences in the market have undergone significant shifts in recent years, driven by a growing emphasis on holistic wellness and personalized nutrition. Consumers increasingly seek functional shots formulated with natural, plant-based ingredients, free from artificial additives and preservatives. They are also gravitating toward functional shots such as ginger shots and beetroot shots that offer multiple health benefits, such as immune support, stress relief, and cognitive enhancement. These trends reflect a desire for convenient solutions to address various aspects of consumer well-being.
According to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), ginger exhibits promising preventive properties against chronic diseases like hypertension and coronary heart disease (CHD) while also contributing to enhancing overall immune system function. A study by NCBI indicates that increasing daily ginger intake by 1g as part of a balanced diet may offer these preventive advantages. Moreover, ginger is an antibacterial and antiviral agent, an antioxidant, an anti-inflammatory compound, an antinausea agent, and an anticancer agent, further supporting its role in promoting well-being and disease prevention.
