Mintel Global New Products Database has found that hot beverages with turmeric in them have increased 359 percent since 2013.

The database found that hot beverage launches with turmeric have more than quadrupled since 2013 in Europe. The group credited the dramatic increase both to turmeric’s health benefits, as well as its unique color lending itself well to sharing on social media.

“The turmeric latte is inspired by a traditional Indian remedy based on hot milk and turmeric infused with spices such as pepper, cinnamon and ginger,” explained Food & Drink Analyst at Mintel Julia Büch.

“The drink has purported health benefits, but equally, its appeal comes from the photogenic and intense, social media-friendly colour,” added Büch. “Milk has not traditionally been a trendy or social media-worthy drink, but colorful, flavorful offerings such as the turmeric latte could change that.”

As another example, Büch pointed to the vibrant green hues of matcha and spirulina. Hot beverage launches with matcha are reported to have increased tenfold since 2014.
