Apple cider vinegar, made from the fermentation of apple juice, is used in a variety of industries, including nutraceuticals, cosmetics, and food service. Beyond its role in baking, it is also an effective preservative, helping to extend the shelf life of foods like pickles. The growing demand for apple cider vinegar is primarily driven by the food and beverage industry. Additionally, its health benefits, such as supporting the immune system, enhancing metabolism, and aiding weight loss, are contributing to the expansion of the market.

The global apple cider vinegar market is expected to reach USD 1,009.40 million by 2032, driven by increasing awareness of its health benefits, according to the Fortune Business Insights™ report titled “Apple Cider Vinegar Market, 2024-2032.” The market, valued at USD 619.43 million in 2023, is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.7% from 2024 to 2032.

Apple cider vinegar is recognized for its antimicrobial properties, which contribute to improved glucose and insulin levels, weight reduction, and decreased calorie intake. Growing awareness of these health benefits is driving market growth. The product is increasingly available in convenient formats such as vegetarian capsules, gummies, and powders, which are gaining global popularity. For example, Vermont Village offers ready-to-drink apple cider vinegar shots in single-serving packets, enhancing consumer convenience and boosting market expansion.

Prominent manufacturers are also capitalizing on this trend by offering products with specific labeling claims, such as non-GMO, gluten-free, organic, and vegan. Nature's Truth, for instance, provides vegan apple cider vinegar capsules that feature plant-based herbal ingredients. These capsules are advertised as vegan-friendly, gluten-free, non-GMO, and free from artificial flavors or sweeteners, further driving market growth.
