Beverages
If you were to offer a thirsty man all wisdom, you would
not please him more than if you gave him a drink.
—Sophocles, philosopher
In the $184 billion U.S. beverage industry, fads bubble up to the surface as quickly as they fizzle flat. As a manufacturer in a fickle environment, you’ve learned to embrace change. And that, of course, means your proverbial cup runneth over—with challenges and opportunities.
At Batory Foods, we serve as your change agent, putting you in the center of those opportunities. Whether you need a blend of high-intensity sweeteners to mitigate the off-tastes of your zero-calorie drink or a whey protein to capture the muscle-recovery dollar, we help you maintain your innovation edge.

MARKET TRENDS
At Batory, we stay on top of the latest developments within the beverage market. Call it a thirst for knowledge.
Grab-and-gulp is on the up. In 2010, 21% of shoppers purchased a refrigerated beverage for immediate consumption, reflecting strong demand for RTD products (Packaged Facts).
As HFCS and sugar continue to receive negative press, formulators are focusing on high-intensity sweetener blends that approximate sugar. In 2010, 10 of the top 15 carbonated diet soft drinks were sweetened with a blend, according to Beverage Industry Magazine.
Drinks are among the top new U.S. products for “natural,” “no additives,” “no preservatives” claims (Innova, 2011).
In beverages, a claim that reads, “a serving of fruit/vegetables,” is important for 67% of consumers (IRI).
Private label beverage sales, reaching an all-time high of $88.5 billion in 2010, increased 39% in supermarkets and 97% in drug stores during the past decade (Nielsen). The growth stems from private labels’ increasingly sophisticated marketing and packaging, experts say.
Beverages comprise the largest classification of the gourmet/premium market, accounting for 34% of that sector’s dollar sales in 2009 (Packaged Facts).
In support of First Lady Michelle Obama’s "Let's Move!" anti-obesity campaign, beverage companies have begun to display total calories on 20-ounce beverage containers, vending machines and soda fountains.
The beverage industry has facilitated an 88% decrease in beverage calories shipped to schools and a 95% reduction in shipments of full-calorie soft drinks to schools (American Beverage Association).
Beverage preferences shift with the seasons. In warm weather, consumers reach for lemonades and sweet teas. Energy drinks and rich, spicy teas pick up in the winter months.
