Beverage Emulsion Market Projected to Reach $3.3B by 2035

LOS ANGELES – The beverage emulsion market, a key ingredient sector for flavor stability and cloud effects in drinks, continues to show steady expansion according to recent industry data.

Towards FnB, a market research firm affiliated with Precedence Research, projects the global beverage emulsion market to reach $2.3 billion in 2026 and climb to $3.3 billion by 2035, reflecting a CAGR of 4.2% over that period. North America holds the leading regional position, accounting for about 38% of the market share as of 2025, supported by strong demand in functional and ready-to-drink beverages.

This forecast comes from a report, which attributes the growth to consumer preferences for clean-label and natural flavor options, alongside advances in emulsification techniques that improve product consistency.

Note that the user’s reference to the United States specifically appears to align with broader North American trends cited in the report, though Towards FnB provides global figures with regional dominance noted for North America rather than an isolated U.S.-only projection in available summaries. Other market analyses vary in scope and estimates. For instance, Persistence Market Research places the global market at around $2.4 billion in 2025 growing to $3.1 billion by 2032 at 3.9% CAGR. However, Towards FnB’s numbers represent one of the more recent and directly matching projections.

In the context of Cannabis and hemp-derived THC beverages, emulsions play a critical role in enabling stable, water-compatible infusions of cannabinoids. Nanoemulsion and related technologies allow for better bioavailability, faster onset of effects, and clearer product appearance, which are essential for non-alcoholic infused drinks. The Cannabis beverages segment itself is booming, with Towards FnB estimating global Cannabis beverages to grow from $1.92 billion in 2026 to $7.60 billion by 2035 at a 16.5% CAGR, far outpacing the general beverage emulsion pace. This suggests that while the overall emulsion market advances modestly, demand from emerging categories like THC-infused seltzers, teas, and functional drinks could contribute meaningfully to emulsion usage in regulated U.S. markets.

The beverage emulsion sector remains tied to broader food and drink innovation as that area faces stricter regulatory hurdles. Overall, the figures point to measured, technology-supported growth in a mature ingredient space, with potential upside from wellness-oriented and alternative beverage trends.
