The latest report from trade and industry authorities highlights a significant shift in Thailand’s beverage market, moving away from focusing solely on cleanliness and safety toward creating added value in terms of health and quality of life. Consumers are increasingly seeking beverages that go beyond simple hydration, particularly drinking water enriched with nutritional benefits, vitamins, or other ingredients that support both physical and mental well-being. This trend reflects the growing pressure on businesses that continue to rely only on selling plain bottled water, urging them to innovate and establish new points of differentiation.
One of the most prominent movements is the rise of beverages designed to support mental health and sleep, which are gaining popularity among younger generations facing stress and insufficient rest. These products often include nutrients that aid the nervous system, such as B vitamins, along with drinks that promote gut health through fiber and probiotics. At the same time, there is steady growth in plant-based water and beauty beverages enriched with collagen or skin-nourishing ingredients. Such trends underscore a shift in consumer behavior toward holistic health and create new opportunities for producers who can meet these demands effectively.
Meanwhile, transparency in ingredients and sourcing has become a priority for consumers, pushing manufacturers to adapt strategies that build trust and differentiation. Expanding into international markets also presents strong potential, especially in countries where health and quality of life are highly valued. The development of value-added beverages is therefore not only about meeting domestic demand but also about elevating the global reputation of Thai products. This direction is expected to help drive the growth of Thailand’s beverage industry amid increasingly intense competition.
