Head over to our Events section to join a webinar or hear us speak at a conference.

As seen in:

Crafting a better brew

Coffee and tea offer a wide variety of choices for taste and health. They boast caffeine, antioxidants, and other potential benefits like better digestion and relaxation.

Beverages that boost spirits

Canned cocktails are booming as people stay home. These drinks offer convenience, lower calories/sugar/alcohol, and a taste of the bar at home. “In wake of COVID-19, many consumers are unable to experience premium cocktails at bars and restaurants."

Trending ingredients and health benefits in functional ready-to-drink beverages

Functional RTD beverages are booming as consumers seek healthy, convenient drinks that boost immunity. This trend is driven by increased health awareness and a desire for on-the-go wellness. Popular ingredients include antioxidants, vitamins, elderberry, and adaptogens.

Natural color and flavor reformulation

Many food companies are replacing artificial ingredients with natural ones. Imbibe says this shift requires not just new processing techniques but also changes in agriculture, like breeding crops for specific colors.

#Trendspotting: The Immunity Opportunity

Consumers are drinking their way to better health with beverages featuring gut-friendly ingredients, immune-boosting vitamins, and kid-friendly options. Popular additions include probiotics, apple cider vinegar, elderberry, and zinc.

TikTok-Inspired Innovation

TikTok is a popular app where users share short videos. Food trends on TikTok include Dalgona coffee (whipped coffee), homemade "cereal" (made from pastries), and copycat recipes (like homemade McDonald's nuggets).
