Description

Report Overview

The RTD (ready-to-drink) hard cider market is a segment within the broader alcoholic beverage industry, characterized by pre-packaged, fermented apple-based beverages with alcohol content typically ranging from 4% to 8%. Hard cider is distinct from beer, wine, and spirits, offering a gluten-free alternative with a naturally sweet to semi-dry flavor profile. The category includes both traditional craft ciders—often made with heritage apple varieties—and mass-produced options that may incorporate added flavors like berries, hops, or spices. Market growth is driven by consumer demand for diverse, low-ABV options, sustainability (with many brands emphasizing organic or locally sourced ingredients), and the premiumization trend favoring artisanal and small-batch products. However, competition is intensifying from hard seltzers, flavored malt beverages, and non-alcoholic alternatives, prompting innovation in packaging, flavor experimentation, and marketing strategies to attract younger, health-conscious drinkers. Regional preferences also play a role, with strong cider traditions in markets like the UK, Europe, and parts of North America influencing global trends.

The global RTD Hard Cider market size was estimated at USD 310.58 million in 2024, exhibiting a CAGR of 4.75% during the forecast period.
