The beverage industry is rapidly innovating, and there are clear signals that the water category is being redefined. From carbonated soft drinks (CSD) to energy drinks to everything in between.
The water category as we know it has been in flux over the last decade. New rising stars are re-shaping this fluid ecosystem and redefining the way in which we think about water. Key themes of health and wellbeing have led to the rise of new product lines giving more hydration options. Within health and wellness, fresh trends are emerging to respond to new needs, focusing particularly on mental health and wellbeing.
The new hype around ketogenic diets isn’t excluding water. In fact, it makes sense that keto followers would be concerned about their hydration levels. Dehydration is a known side effect of ketogenic diets due to many factors, including high salt intake. Keto dieters therefore require adequate water consumption. However, what matters is not only daily hydration amounts, but also the composition of the water intake, including levels of electrolytes and magnesium.
