U.S. Beverage Market Outlook 2021

Most major beverage categories are mature and rely primarily on population growth, leaving marketers with the challenge of bringing something new to the table. Opportunities abound for companies that invest in new product launches, ingredient changes, and different marketing tactics to appeal to changing consumer preferences, including the wellness and plant-based areas but also flavor trends.

The COVID-19 pandemic led to sharply increased demand for beverages in the retail sector as consumption shifted from the foodservice industry to the home. Even as foodservice outlets reopened and vaccination rates rose, many consumers are continuing to spend more time at home compared to their pre-pandemic habits. This has – along with caution associated with the rise of COVID-19 variants – resulted in more beverages consumed at home as many consumers continue to prepare and consume most of their meals at home. As a result, while demand on the retail side has slowed from the gains seen from 2019-2020, sales have remained elevated from pre-pandemic levels.
