Imbibe experts highlight liver health, sugar-inspired flavors, fiber, and lemonade as rising trends in the coming year

In 2025, we can expect to see a convergence of several key trends that prioritize holistic health and personalized experiences. From liver health-focused products to sugar-inspired flavors without the added sugar, the industry is responding to the growing demand for healthier options that don’t compromise on taste. Additionally, the resurgence of lemonade and limeade—alongside the incorporation of fiber into beverages—reflects a focus on natural, refreshing, and nutrient-dense options.

Here are four trends driving new product development.

Look out for your Liver: As consumers become increasingly aware of the impact of their diets on overall health, liver health is poised to emerge as a significant trend in the food and beverage industry. With rising rates of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and other liver ailments, there will be a growing demand for products that support liver function. This trend will likely manifest in the development of functional beverages, fortified foods, and dietary supplements specifically designed to protect and enhance liver health. Additionally, we can expect to see a shift towards ingredients known for their liver-protective properties, such as antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and probiotics.
