Inside Drinks Magazine: Market Focus Special Issue – July 2016

Inside Drinks is now free for the iPad. Download our app to read the latest issue and browse our back issues for free.

Inside Drinks has launched a new series of special issues, bringing you the latest insights from the global beverage industry from research specialist Canadean. In this issue we take a closer look at the mega-trend of sustainability and ethics and ask how it is influencing consumer choices, and what this means for beverage manufacturers.

Research from Canadean reveals that white milk sales continue to decline as milk alternatives find a stronger foothold in the market. We review recent innovations in the dairy alternatives market as product development moves from soy, nut and grain derived drinks to vegetables and other sources.

When it comes to creating an ethical brand image, Harmless Harvest has done well with its coconut water. We find out how meticulous sourcing and fair trade values have helped the company carve out a premium position in the market.

We also round up other recent insights from Canadean, including changes underway in the African water market, how the UK’s sugar tax is affecting the soft drinks industry and how manufacturers can add value to alcoholic beverages through packaging.
