Non-alcoholic beverages in China - statistics & facts
China’s vast population has made it the world's second-largest non-alcoholic beverage market. In this country, the term “non-alcoholic beverages” often refers to prepackaged drinks with an ethanol content of less than 0.5 percent, covering a wide range of products, including bottled water, carbonated drinks, juices, and more. While fizzy drinks hold the position of the second most popular liquid refreshment beverage (LRB) globally, they face challenges in attaining a similar status within the Chinese market, where bottled water remains dominant.
