Sparkling Sparks Shopping

Across all beverage categories, water is the second largest category and No.1 in value growth.¹ Among health-conscious consumers, particularly millennials and parents of younger children, the quest for a naturally flavored, zero-calorie, great-tasting option has fostered revenue opportunity for brands within the water category. When bubbles are added, the excitement builds — which is also why sparkling drinks are so popular.

Just how popular?

This category has grown so exponentially that it is the second largest water segment¹ with household spend up by 21.8%.² The forecast: more and more bubbles for more consumers and a projected 17% compounded annual growth in sparkling water sales from 2015 to 2018. ³

The message to foodservice operators: Ride the wave to increase incidences and sales.
