Abstract

Nutraceuticals, derived from food sources, are gaining prominence for their potential health benefits beyond basic nutrition, often serving as remedies for chronic diseases. This includes functional beverages, such as energy drinks, sports drinks, nutraceutical drinks, and functional waters, which are formulated to provide specific health benefits, from energy enhancement to immune support. Nutraceutical beverages often contain bioactive compounds, vitamins, minerals, probiotics, herbal extracts, and adaptogens, offering a convenient way to address consumer health needs. Fermented beverages, particularly dairy-based ones, are also integral to the market, benefiting from the probiotic properties of lactic acid bacteria. The market for functional beverages is growing rapidly, with increased consumer awareness of their potential health benefits, particularly in countries like India, where traditional knowledge and modern health trends converge. Challenges in product formulation, stability, and regulatory approval persist, but the future of the nutraceutical beverage market looks promising, driven by innovations in sourcing, packaging, and consumer demand for healthier, plant-based options. The market is expected to experience robust growth, with an anticipated compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6% from 2022 to 2032.

Keywords: Functional food, functional beverages, phytochemicals, prebiotics, probiotics
