Has anyone read Keurig Dr. Pepper’s State of Beverages Trend Report?
Just came across Keurig Dr. Pepper’s State of Beverages Trend Report, and some of the numbers really stood out:
- 44% of Americans try a new beverage each month, rising to 72% among Gen Z
- 65% of adults now customize their beverages, with 75% of Gen Z & Millennials doing so
- Top motivations? New flavors, trusted brands, low/zero sugar, and visual/health benefits
Most popular customization ingredients:
- 52% Sweeteners
- 51% Creamers/Milk
- 45% Fruit purees
- 44% Flavor drops
If you're in beverage NPD, branding, or packaging, this opens up so many interesting questions:
- How do you package for a generation that wants to remix everything?
- How important is visual appeal on shelves and in social media?
- How do product teams manage rapid experimentation when flavors are constantly rotating?
Would love to hear what you guys think!
