Tonic Water Market Size in terms of Volume and Value 2017-2025

Tonic water is defined as a carbonated drink which consists of quinine as a major ingredient. Quinine is a medication that was used to treat malaria and other diseases. Due to the bitter taste of quinine, tonic water was initially used as a palatable way to consume quinine medicine but has gained popularity as a drink mixer in gin and vodka-based alcoholic drinks.

Quinine is no longer used as the primary medication for malaria due to the emergence of other treatment options and drugs but is included in the WHO list of essential medicines.

Global Tonic Water Market Trends and Market Drivers:

The rapidly increasing interest in direct consumption of tonic water is an important driver for the market. This consumption is a result of the various factors such as the growing consumer interest in drinks that are non-alcoholic, not too sweet and can mimic the feel of drinking alcoholic beverages. Tonic water best fits this description and is therefore witnessing a rapid growth in recent years.

The other important factor in the tonic water market is the growth of the market beyond traditional or regular tonic water. Several companies have launched tonic water products that are more diverse in terms of flavor, texture, pricing, ingredients, calorie content, and packaging. This fact can be witnessed in the launch of products containing ingredients such chocolate, lemongrass, and pomegranate. The optimization of ingredients, such as use of naturally sourced quinine and natural sweeteners instead of sugar, is also a key driver for the market.

The market faces regulation in two aspects: level of quinine usage and labelling requirements. As per the U.S. FDA, quinine can be used in food and beverage products if the quinine content in the respective product doesn’t exceed 83 parts per million, and if the presence of quinine in the product is clearly mentioned on the product label.
