Global Kefir Market Size study, by Product Type (Dairy-based, Non-dairy based), by Nature (Organic, Conventional), by Category (Flavored, Non-flavored), by Distribution Channel (Supermarkets/Hypermarkets, Convenience Stores, Specialty Stores, Online Retail) and Regional Forecasts 2022-2032

Global Kefir Market is valued at approximately USD 1.52 billion in 2023 and is anticipated to grow with a healthy growth rate of more than 5.5% over the forecast period 2024-2032. Kefir, a fermented beverage made from kefir grains—a mixture of yeast and lactic acid bacteria—is gaining popularity due to its health benefits, particularly in supporting gut microbiota and enhancing overall immunity. Consumers’ growing knowledge about the importance of gut health is propelling demand for probiotic-rich foods and beverages, making kefir a preferred choice among health-conscious individuals. The market is further buoyed by innovations in product development, including organic, lactose-free, and flavored kefir variants, which cater to the evolving preferences of consumers.

The market's growth is strongly influenced by the increasing popularity of functional beverages that offer on-the-go nutrition, with kefir standing out as a probiotic drink that supports a healthy gut microbiome. The demand for lactose-free and non-dairy options is also driving the market, particularly among vegan and lactose-intolerant consumers. Furthermore, the trend towards organic and clean-label products is bolstering the kefir market, as consumers continue to seek healthier, natural alternatives to traditional dairy products. Moreover, the advances in extraction techniques, and increasing consumer preference for organic and non-dairy products present various lucrative opportunities over the forecast years. However, the market faced challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a temporary decline in sales due to shifts in consumer behavior towards home-cooked meals and disruptions in supply chains. Despite these setbacks, the heightened focus on immunity and health during the pandemic has reinforced the demand for functional foods like kefir, a trend expected to persist in the post-pandemic era.

The key regions considered for the Global Kefir Market study include Asia Pacific, North America, Europe, Latin America, and Rest of the World. Europe is a dominating region in the Global Kefir Market in terms of revenue. The market growth in the region is being attributed to factors including a long-standing tradition of consuming fermented dairy products. Countries like Russia, Poland, and other Eastern European nations have deep-rooted cultural practices of kefir consumption, making Europe the largest market for kefir products. Whereas, the market in Asia Pacific is anticipated to grow at the fastest rate over the forecast period fueled by increasing awareness of gut health, rising interest in probiotic-rich foods, and a growing trend towards functional and health-conscious beverages are driving the rapid expansion of kefir consumption in the United States and Canada. Additionally, the introduction of flavored and non-dairy kefir products is attracting a broader consumer base, further fueling growth in this region.
