The drink is fermented using a symbiotic culture of bacteria and yeast strain (SCOBY), which results in a light, effervescent tea beverage with a slight alcohol content of 0.5% due to the natural fermentation process. The beverage is a potential probiotic drink that offers several health benefits to consumers such as aiding the growth of gut microflora, infusing into the body, and potentially reducing heart disease risk. The rising awareness about the health benefits of this drink among consumers is projected to fuel the global market.


Increasing Consumption of Fermented Tea Beverages amid COVID-19 to Favor Growth


The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in the closure of various factories and warehouses across countries as a result of the governmental implementation of social distancing and lockdowns to stop the spread of the virus. However, this market has experienced a slight uptick as convenience stores and medicinal shops remained functional to provide consumers with essential health supplies. According to a study by the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI), 2020, consumption of kombucha aids in supporting the immune system due to its antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cholesterol-reducing properties. Various probiotic drink manufacturers have been increasing their production capacities to fulfill the consumers' demand for immunity-boosting beverages amid the pandemic. For example, the Malaysia-based brand WonderBrew aims to double its sales by expanding its e-commerce presence amid the pandemic. The firm says it has surpassed its last year's sales of USD 48,000 in June. Further, the demand for functional food and beverages to support the overall health of consumers have contributed to market growth.

For instance, in July 2020, Kombrewcha launched two new flavors – blood orange and mango pineapple – in the U.S. Coupled with this, the availability of the drink in cans and bottles, owing to the rising mainstream trends of on-the-go convenience, lures the consumers into purchasing them.


RESTRAINING FACTORS


Regulatory Stringency on Alcohol Content to Hamper Growth


Various regulatory bodies have been strictly monitoring the alcohol content in different drinks as it poses a public health risk. One of the biggest risks includes the high alcohol content that may interfere with people undergoing some form of medication. Further, there may be changes in the alcohol ratio as the product travels from the manufacturer to the retailer due to secondary fermentation. Sometimes, the addition of flavorings may also affect the alcohol content in the beverage. To counter these issues, regulatory bodies impose strict rules governing the alcohol content in beverages. For example, according to the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the alcohol content in a drink can never be above 0.5% alcohol by volume (ABV) during production, at the time of bottling, or after bottling. The Canadian Food Inspection Agency states that a product is considered non-alcoholic if it has less than 1.1% ABV. The numerous regulatory scenarios and their negative impacts on the operations pose a restraint on the kombucha market growth.
