Key Consumer Trends

Immune System Health Support Drinks that effectively communicate how they can support immune system health are set to flourish. Ingredients rich in micro-nutrients (such as Vitamins) are a common feature in juice drinks, but with room for brands to put stronger focus on their immunity-boosting benefits.

Mental and Emotional Wellbeing Consumers will be looking for more functional drinks that claim to help people relax and relieve emotional health concerns.

Beverage brands themselves as an antidote to stress.

Water, Hydration and Refreshment While water is an essential ingredient in many juice drinks, the time is ripe for brands to make more of the health halo that the 'water' label has to offer. To differentiate from flavoured waters, hydrating juice drinks should leverage their inherent nutritional qualities and boost functional appeal.

Key Consumer Trends Cost-effective: bigger, smaller, affordable Affordability is an ongoing and major element of value, as consumers will always consider price as a key purchase driver. The upcoming recession in many countries will accelerate this need. Time is ripe for juice brands to consider investing in concentrated formats.

Beverages addressing climate change People want to do right for the planet. They are looking for companies that share their mission. Climate change is one of the world's biggest and most pressing challenges, making it imperative not only for governments, but also for businesses to play their part and take action.

Growing preference for local fruits The widespread use of tropical fruits imported from other parts of the world increases their carbon footprint. Consumers say local ingredients would encourage them to buy more beverages.
