The THC Seltzers Market Size is valued at USD 340.0 million in 2023 and is predicted to reach USD 2,932.8 million by the year 2031 at a 31.5% CAGR during the forecast period for 2024-2031.
THC seltzers contain marijuana's psychoactive ingredient, tetrahydrocannabinol (THC). Cannabis can be consumed in a refreshing, low-calorie drink instead of smoking or eating. THC seltzers’ different flavors and dosages offer a mild, controlled high without the stench or smoke of traditional cannabis. The THC seltzers market is anticipated to experience unprecedented growth because of factors such as the increasing demand for non-alcoholic beverages, the introduction of innovative products, and the desire for user-friendly, novel approaches. Customers’ curiosity and openness to trying new cannabis products are driving up demand for THC seltzers. As more and more people are open to trying cannabis in all its forms, the appeal of drinks laced with THC is increasing. Because consumers are always on the lookout for novel cannabis experiences, this investigation is driving industry growth. The fact that people with busy lifestyles can consume these drinks anytime they like because of the THC seltzer content is driving demand in the market.
However, the market expansion is hampered by the lack of awareness of THC seltzers, and the complicated regulations and constraints greatly hinder the expansion of the market. Furthermore, Demand for THC seltzers surged during the COVID-19 outbreak as people looked for ways to alleviate stress and find alternative health goods. Supply chain interruptions hindered production and delivery, but sales were boosted by lockdowns and increased at-home consumption. Moreover, there is a rise in the popularity of cannabis-infused beverages among consumers and a rising need for alcohol-free, healthful substitutes. New flavor and formulation innovations are all factors that could lead to opportunities in the THC seltzers market. These factors propel the expansion of markets and advancements in technology.
The THC seltzers market is segmented based on content, flavor, and distribution channel. The content segment comprises 1-2.5 mg THC, 2.5-5 mg THC, and 5+ mg THC. By flavor, the market is segmented into unflavored and flavored. The last segment is distribution channel which is further segmented into on-trade and off-trade.
The 5+ mg THC in the THC seltzers market is expected to lead with a big global market share because of its popularity among seasoned cannabis users looking for a stronger, more intense high. Additionally, customers seeking a controlled and easy way to get high are driving this segment’s market share, which is rising in tandem with consumer tolerance and the demand for greater, longer-lasting experiences.
The flavored segment is expanding rapidly in the THC seltzers market. This is because people like edibles that hide the pot’s inherent flavor rather than its more pungent effects. Flavor variety attracts a wider audience, including those unfamiliar with THC products. Moreover, market expansion is being propelled by novel and enticing flavor profiles that elevate the drinking experience and make these drinks ideal for gatherings with friends and family.
The North American THC seltzers market is expected to record the biggest market share in revenue in the near future. It can be attributed to rising interest among consumers in healthy beverage options, coupled with robust product innovation. Decent rules and the region’s well-developed THC seltzer business infrastructure also contribute to the expansion of the market. In addition, Europe is likely to grow rapidly in the global THC seltzers market because of growing public knowledge of cannabis’s therapeutic potential, shifts in policy, a surge in interest among consumers in cutting-edge health foods, a rising middle class, and a huge population in the region.
