History

Sodas

Before soda products appeared in our everyday grocery stores, pharmacists would mix medicines into carbonated water with a touch of flavor for easier consumption. What started as a simple idea became popular home concoctions and then commercialized formulas. Soda pioneers like Coca-Cola and Pepsi have rich conception stories and cultural impact, making this category a foundation for the beverage industry.

Nowadays, consumers drink sodas alongside almost every meal, movie, and social event. The possibilities for flavor, branding, and innovation are endless! Work with the experts here at Flavorman to help you understand the past and keep an eye on the future to win over new and existing customers through ground-breaking, thoughtful creations in the soda market.

Key Considerations

  1. When approaching the beverage market, it is important to consider projected trends. According to industry insiders, the number of calories per person consumed by soda has declined by 5.5% in recent years, leading to a total reduction of 11.8% since 2014. Interestingly, the total volume of beverages purchased has grown, signifying a shift toward low-calorie and zero-sugar versions.
  2. With the sheer number of sodas on the market right now, making your product stand out on the shelves is key to being successful among competitors. This means that possibilities are endless for making your product one-of-a-kind. Flavorman is eager to help you create the next best soda to take over consumers' hands!
  3. There has been a recent surge in the incorporation of Functional Beverages into the Soda market. Pre-biotic and pro-biotic sodas, in particular, are prime examples of functional sodas that are extremely popular amongst consumers right now.
