BEVERAGE INDUSTRY

The beverage industry is changing, as non alcoholic beverages show a notable growth, like water beverages, frozen drinks, and alcohol-free cocktails. Also, trends in beverages are moving away from sugar and artificial flavors & ingredients. Indeed, the consumption of soda is decreasing, due to a negative perception of sugar input.

SUGAR REDUCTION

As for food, consumers seek out better options for their beverages than the ones existing in the market. Consumers still consider taste as the most important driver of choice in their beverages, but low sugar or no sugar is also an important criteria.

SUGAR ALTERNATIVES

Considering the negative impact of sugar on health, increasing the risk of obesity and diabetes, its use is decreasing little by little in all regions. Indeed average sugar content in drinks is falling, in particular thanks to the use of natural-origin sweeteners. Also, beverage manufacturers are reformulating with sugar alternatives, and soft drinks brands are encouraged to reduce/replace sugar. However, substitutes show many disadvantages, like adding unwanted flavor notes to the beverages.
