Thailand Cold-Pressed Juice & Functional Beverage 2027 Market Intelligence

Thailand's health and wellness beverage category generated an estimated THB 95-105B in 2026, anchored by Osotspa's 37 percent functional and 54.8 percent energy share, Carabao Group's carbonated vitamin line (up 26 percent YoY in 2024), TC Pharmaceutical's Sponsor (73.5 percent sports-drink share) and Yanhee's 32 percent vitamin-water lead, with an emerging premium tier of cold-pressed HPP juice (Fresher Kitchen Beep, License To Blend, MyJuiceBkk), kombucha (Fermenthe), and fortified plant-milk (Lactasoy, Dutch Mill).
