Beverages

SIC 2080 covers beverage makers spanning carbonated soft drinks, bottled water, juices, energy and functional blends, ready-to-drink teas and coffees, plus breweries and emerging ready-to-drink cocktails; core outputs include branded beverages, private-label lines, contract manufacturing, and distribution services to grocery chains, convenience stores, foodservice operators, and online direct-to-consumer buyers. Typical customers range from mass retailers and restaurant groups to health-conscious consumers seeking low- or no-sugar options. Operators navigate raw material and packaging volatility, sugar taxes, labeling rules, recycling mandates, alcohol permitting, and retailer pricing power, with heavy brand marketing and route-to-market investments. 2024-2025 trends center on protein- and adaptogen-infused functional drinks, premium hydration, sober-curious low-ABV launches, sustainability-driven aluminum and lightweight PET, and AI-informed flavor innovation, all against inflationary cost pressure.
