In today’s high-pressure world, stress isn’t just common—it’s constant. According to the 2024 Headspace Workforce State of Mind Report, 47% of employees say the majority or all of their stress comes from work, while a staggering 77% believe this stress has negatively affected their mental health. This growing need for balance is fueling the rise of adaptogenic drinks, infused with stress-relieving herbs like ashwagandha and reishi. Once a niche wellness item, these beverages are now gaining mainstream appeal as people look for daily rituals that support mental well-being. Brands are responding with ready-to-drink formats, transparent sourcing, and clean-label ingredients. As self-care becomes a priority, adaptogenic drinks are emerging as a calming solution in an increasingly chaotic world.
Key Market Findings
Today’s adaptogenic beverages are not only functional—they taste great too. Brands are blending traditional adaptogens like maca and ginseng with fruits, botanicals, and sparkling water for palatable experiences. This flavor-forward approach widens their appeal beyond the wellness niche. Innovation in taste is key to encouraging regular consumption. In April 2024, UK brand Trip launched its Mindful Blend range, featuring calming ingredients like lion’s mane, magnesium, and L-theanine. With flavors such as cucumber mint and elderflower mint, the range combines adaptogens and superfoods to meet the growing demand for functional, flavorful beverages.
Adaptogenic drinks are thriving on platforms like Instagram and TikTok, where wellness influencers share routines and product reviews. The visual appeal of these beverages—often vibrantly packaged—makes them social-media friendly. Influencer partnerships are educating audiences on adaptogen benefits in a relatable way. Viral content is accelerating consumer trial and loyalty.
The success of the adaptogenic drink market lies in its grab-and-go convenience. RTD formats offer a quick, effortless way to integrate wellness into busy lifestyles. As consumers look for functional alternatives to sugary sodas and coffee, adaptogenic drinks fill the gap. In August 2023, the RTD sparkling tea brand JOYO was relaunched as Juni, featuring a new vegan, zero-sugar formula infused with adaptogens and nootropics like ashwagandha, lion's mane, and reishi mushroom—redefining how consumers sip for both convenience and cognitive support.
