Deaths from falling out of bed in the USUS kombucha market size
As kombucha has grown into a nearly 2-billion-dollar industry, bed-fall deaths have risen, adding fermented tea to the bed-fall correlation catalog with the probiotic confidence of a chart that has found yet another wellness product growing at the same rate as geriatric mortality. The SCOBY cultures, the body falls, and the coefficient achieves another 0.98 because the aging population correlates with everything.
Kombucha grew from about 100 million to over 1.8 billion dollars between 2010 and 2021. Bed-fall deaths rose with the aging population. Twelve data points, both up. Same as every other bed-fall correlation. The kombucha drinkers are young; the fallers are old. The chart sees only direction.
Twelve years of kombucha and bed falls is another chapter in the bed-fall epic—the longest-running statistical series on this website. The tea ferments, the body falls, and the coefficient is the same 0.98 it always is. The bed rail remains the only intervention. The kombucha remains irrelevant. The catalog grows.
