The soda industry has come full circle. In the beginning, carbonated water was an elixir of good health. This “health beverage” evolved into the multi-billion dollar carbonated soft drink industry we know today, although not necessarily for healthfulness.

However, over the past twenty years, there has been a return to the early health and functional benefits of the category, spurred by the popularity of bottled waters, teas and fruit drinks and the growing incidence of obesity and diabetes in America. The “New Age Carbonated Beverages” segment is finally coming into its own with major and niche soda manufacturers creating new value-added healthy alternatives to CSDs.

The Packaged Facts Market Trends: New Age Carbonated Beverages covers the following:

• Energy drinks
• Diet and low-calorie soft drinks (particularly the new mid-cal products)
• Sparkling Water and other beverages including premium soda, sparkling juices and teas and carbonated dairy beverages

Companies examined include the major carbonated drink players (e.g., Coca-Cola, PepsiCo., Cadbury-Schweppes), as well as the niche players making a name for themselves in this market (e.g., IZZE, Jones, Red Bull).
