SK Chemtrade’s functional beverages using botanicals from Ransom Naturals
For manufacturers striving to create healthy, enjoyable beverages that meet customer aspirations for health and wellness in their lifestyles, functional additives like botanicals are becoming popular. By 2025, the market for botanical extracts is projected to be worth $7.59 billion, expanding at a CAGR of 8.7% from 2017 to 2025. Young customers are becoming more and more enamoured with ready-to-drink tea as they consider it as a respectable substitute for conventional soft drinks. Probiotics are also becoming more popular as a result of this demand to strengthen the immune system.
