Industry Trends and Drivers:

  • Explosive Health and Wellness Movement:

In response, consumer trends are changing the way vinegar is consumed. Since the COVID pandemic, 73% of American adults say they actively look for natural alternatives to improve their health. Apple cider vinegar has been a big beneficiary, with demand soaring more than 50% now that it's believed to have health benefits related to digestion, cholesterol, and weight loss. Older vinegars are functional foods. They offer meaningful health benefits. Vinegars now have a higher nutritional value from increased use as an ingredient. However, with the trend changing more recently, the American Heart Association noted during a 2018 review that individuals with Type 2 diabetes may find that consuming vinegar helps. The trend also extends to drinks made with vinegar. Apple cider vinegar drinks with fruit juices and spices are increasingly being used as a sugar replacement.

  • Natural Preservatives Gaining Ground:

Food producers have begun using vinegar as a natural food preservative due to an increased demand by consumers for clean-label products. The organic food industry was USD 71.6 Billion in 2024, helping the naturally fermented vinegar segment. 70% of consumers trust the USDA Organic label on foods and beverages. This has led to major innovation, like Corbion's August 2023 opening of a new vinegar production facility in Montgomery, Alabama, making patented vinegar solutions for food preservation, with simpler and more transparent labeling. This investment further enables Corbion to support its customers' growing market demands. In December 2024, Corbion offered more in North America through Verdad Opti Powder formulations that protect against new yeast, mold and Listeria by its technologies, providing customers functional opportunities without sacrificing product integrity or quality. Manufacturers can achieve preservation goals by using fermentation-based ingredients without the use of petroleum-based preservatives like sorbates and benzoates.

  • Product Innovation Reshaping Consumer Experiences:

The vinegar shelf expanded with many flavored and infused varieties beyond white and apple cider vinegar. Increasingly exotic flavors are offered including raspberry, garlic, honey, and tarragon infused vinegars reflecting changing tastes in the consumer market. Ready-to-drink vinegar products have active growth and drinking vinegar market value should grow from USD 1.2 Billion in 2024 to USD 2.1 Billion in 2033. Apeal World, RTD sparkling apple cider vinegar product, debuted its Organic Lemon and Mint third flavor variant in March 2024. It is made up of carbonated water, organic apple cider vinegar, organic extracts, and sustainably sourced spices. Celebrity endorsements contribute toward the trend's mainstream popularity too. In June 2024 pop singer Katy Perry made an investment in Bragg Live Food Products. In March 2025, PepsiCo purchased prebiotic soda brand Poppi for USD 1.95 billion, the largest functional beverage company acquisition in history. The acquisition was driven by the high demand for apple cider vinegar-based functional beverages. In parallel, manufacturers are launching new convenience formats such as Apple Cider Vinegar supplement capsules by Bragg in Sprouts Farmers Market stores in February 2025.

  • Manufacturing Capacity Expansion Accelerating:

Industry leaders are making substantial investments in production infrastructure to meet growing demand. In August 2024, Mizkan America announced a USD 156 Million expansion of its Owensboro, Kentucky facility, adding 320,000 square feet to enhance production capacity for pasta sauces and vinegar products including brands such as Ragú, Bertolli, and Holland House. This expansion reflects the company's confidence in sustained market growth and positions it to serve increasing consumer demand across multiple product categories. Corbion's new vinegar fermentation plant has achieved full operational status in 2024, bringing complete insourcing benefits and ensuring consistent supply of high-quality raw materials. These infrastructure investments are creating more resilient supply chains that can efficiently adapt to demand fluctuations and cost pressures. The focus on vertical integration and localized production is helping manufacturers maintain quality standards while improving operational efficiency and reducing supply chain vulnerabilities.
