Problem
Consumers Demand a Healthier Alternative to Soda
A revolution is taking the water and soft drink industry by storm. In 2018, for the 14th consecutive year, carbonated soft drink sales declined, creating unprecedented opportunity to disrupt a largely overlooked $250 billion U.S. soft drinks market.
Health-conscious baby boomers and millennials with lofty quality expectations are driving the market, snubbing both traditional soft drinks loaded with high-fructose corn syrup and their “diet” counterparts that are muddled with unidentifiable artificial sweeteners. Instead, they’re demanding healthier alternatives.
