Juice & Smoothie Bars in the UK industry analysis

Over the five years through 2024-25, juice and smoothie bar revenue is estimated to contract at a compound annual rate of 5% to £80.6 million. Growing health consciousness is pushing sales – people are becoming more vigilant of the foods they consume. Juice bars offer a convenient and accessible way for people to incorporate fresh fruits, vegetables, and other nutritious ingredients into their diets. Many consumers have substituted their daily on-the-go coffee and other soft drinks with fruit juices and smoothies, as they are perceived as healthier. The recent wave of private equity investments has also played a significant role in the rapid growth and expansion of juice and smoothie bars in recent years.

Trends and Insights

  • A health craze fuels the juice bar boom. The rising health consciousness among consumers is propelling growth in the juice and smoothie bar industry as people gravitate towards nutrient-rich, superfood-packed beverages.
  • Smoothies lose shine due to their high sugar and calorie content. Once seen as a healthier option, smoothies are witnessing a market dip owing to their excessive sugar and calorie levels, turning customers towards nutrient-rich juice alternatives.
  • London's wealth and lifestyle boost juice business. High income, busy routines, and a large, youthful population drive the capital's demand for convenient, health-oriented beverage options, attracting juice and smoothie bars.
  • Economies of scale aid larger juice brands' expansion. This gives major players like Joe & the Juice an edge in negotiating better contracts, helping them to effectively manage fluctuating costs and maintain their profit margin.
