Dublin, July 23, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Caffeine-Free Herbal Sodas Market Global Report 2026” has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The global caffeine-free herbal sodas market is experiencing strong growth as consumers increasingly seek natural, functional and non-stimulant alternatives to conventional soft drinks. The market is projected to increase from $1.57 billion in 2025 to $1.72 billion in 2026, representing a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 9.5%.
Growth has been supported by greater consumer awareness of sugar reduction, the rising popularity of plant-based beverages and increasing demand for natural functional drinks. The expansion of premium non-alcoholic beverage categories and wider retail availability of wellness-focused products have also strengthened the market.
Looking ahead, the caffeine-free herbal sodas market is forecast to reach $2.49 billion by 2030, expanding at a CAGR of 9.8%. Key growth drivers will include innovation in herbal ingredient formulations, increasing adoption of organic and clean-label beverages, wider online distribution of functional drinks and growing investment in premium ready-to-drink herbal refreshments. Demand for sustainable beverage packaging is also expected to influence product development and purchasing decisions.
Consumer interest in plant-based drinks remains a major catalyst for market expansion. Health-conscious shoppers are selecting beverages made with herbs, fruits, grains and botanicals while reducing their consumption of artificial ingredients, caffeine and added sugar. This shift is creating opportunities for herbal soda brands offering low-sugar, zero-calorie and naturally sourced formulations.
According to the Plant Based Foods Association’s 2024 Plant-Based Foods State of the Marketplace Report, plant-based protein powders and beverages increased by 11% in value and 13% in volume during 2024, reaching $450 million. The results demonstrate continued demand for plant-based beverage options and reinforce the commercial potential of caffeine-free herbal sodas.
Product innovation is increasingly focused on sparkling drinks infused with botanicals such as chamomile, hibiscus, ginger, mint and lemongrass. Manufacturers are also developing mixed botanical and floral flavor profiles designed to address consumer interest in digestive health, immune support and relaxation.
In January 2023, U.S.-based wellness company TEAONIC launched Fresh Pop, a range of wellness sodas made with selected botanical ingredients. The lineup includes Fresh Pop Detox, Fresh Pop Immunity and Fresh Pop Chill, with each variety developed around specific wellness positioning. The range combines carbonation and plant-based formulations to provide an alternative to traditional sugary or caffeinated soft drinks.
Strategic investment is further reshaping the functional soda category. In March 2025, PepsiCo Inc. acquired prebiotic soda brand poppi for $1.95 billion. The transaction supports PepsiCo’s portfolio transformation and expands its presence in health-oriented soda alternatives targeting younger, wellness-focused consumers. Poppi products feature ingredients including fruit juice, apple cider vinegar and prebiotics.
North America was the largest caffeine-free herbal sodas market in 2025, supported by established wellness trends, strong retail distribution and consumer demand for premium functional beverages. Asia-Pacific is expected to be the fastest-growing region through 2030 as urbanization, disposable incomes and interest in natural beverage products increase.
The market covers Asia-Pacific, Southeast Asia, Western Europe, Eastern Europe, North America, South America, the Middle East and Africa. Key national markets include the United States, Canada, China, India, Japan, Australia, Brazil, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, the United Kingdom, Indonesia, South Korea, Taiwan and Russia.
