Smoothies Market  Drivers and Restraints:

An increasing number of health-conscious people, changing lifestyles and food habits, and health benefits associated with smoothies are some of the major factors driving the smoothies market. Increasing popularity for meal replacement food and beverages, growing prominence for juice and smoothie bars, and increasing demand for non-carbonated soft drinks are also expected to propel the smoothies market.

Smoothies that include a large serving of fruits and vegetables are recommended for a healthy diet. However, the use of too many sweeteners, protein powders, and ice creams is not healthy. Smoothies consist of high dietary fiber content making them healthier than fruit juices. Green smoothies made from healthy vegetables are gaining prominence, especially in health-conscious people. Smoothies with increased carbohydrate content by using sugar additives can themselves replace a meal.  High prices of smoothies and packaging problems as they are made from raw ingredients are the major factors restraining the growth of the smoothies market.With the growing trend for green smoothies, there is a rise in demand for smoothies incorporated with green leafy vegetables, such as kale, spinach, lettuce, and green cabbage leaves, to improve digestion and the immune system, and minimize unhealthy cravings. Additionally, due to rising health care costs, consumers are inclined to use smoothies as one of breakfasts as well as snacks to stay healthy. Increased consumer awareness of the benefits associated with the product is also spurring market growth. The growing demand for functional foods and beverages is also driving the growth of smoothies. In addition, continued product launches in this area are expected to stimulate the smoothie market for years to come. Also, the strategic initiatives undertaken by the main market players will accelerate the growth of the market.
