Current Scenario of the Global Cider Market 

Cider is usually considered an alcoholic beverage or a beverage prepared from various apples, but recently other fruits have been added to the mix to expand the variety. Similar to how wine is made, cider is also produced. The fruits are procured from the cultivars and scratted and pressed there. Using yeasts, the fermentation process enables the production of ethanol from simple carbohydrates. In contrast, in many popular cultures, cider is subtly used in place of beer or malt beverage. As a result, cider is most frequently also referred to as "fermented fruit juice." Additionally, it has antioxidant characteristics, because the fruits chosen to make cider are typically astringent and high in tannins. One of the main drivers propelling the cider industry forward throughout the forecast period of 2022–2027 is the increased consumption of healthy alcoholic beverages by millennials in their daily routines, combined with the product makers' diverse product offerings.

MARKET DRIVERS

One of the main growth factors of the global cider market is an increase in demand for premium spirits brought on by increased per capita income and drinking as a status symbol. In alcoholic beverages, consumers are increasingly drawn to tradition, quality, and innovation. On the other hand, Cider market growth is increasing as low-alcohol beverages gain popularity. Although the Covid-19 pandemic caused enormous damage, the world has not yet fully recovered from cardiovascular diseases. Such conditions have been labelled "the silent killer" by the WHO since they account for the majority of fatalities in people under the age of 70. Additionally, drinking alcohol has a long history of increasing the risk of contracting these diseases. As a result, the cider market's product offers for "alcohol-free cider" and "low alcohol cider" have acquired some popularity. In addition, people are increasingly consuming beverages prepared from cider due to its advantageous anti-platelet and anti-inflammatory effects. Apple cider is a functional beverage with bioactive polyphenols, as researchers have easily demonstrated. Additionally, PAF, an inflammatory and thrombotic lipid mediator, is strongly inhibited by the bioactive polyphenols' powerful anti-platelet capabilities. Additionally, it was shown that the PL from all sources of cider products were high in PUFA, particularly n-3 PUFA and MUFA, which explains why they have such strong anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet characteristics. Additionally, the presence of polyphenols has produced a structural analogy that gives numerous cell receptors strong antagonistic capabilities.

MARKET RESTRAINTS

Cider's sugar level poses a major global cider market challenge. First off, compared to wine, cider has a lower glycemic index rating since grapes contain more sugar than the majority of apples. In any case, the fermented product has a lot of sugar. According to recent research, a 470 ml "natural cider" can includes 20.5 grammes of sugar, which is the only amount that adults are advised to consume daily. Additionally, depending on whether the cider is consumed with lager or ale, the sugar amounts may increase by 5 or 10 times. Given that diabetes is one of the most common cardiovascular diseases and that people's food preferences have altered in response to these statistics, the cider market faces a significant challenge.
