The emergence of prebiotic drinks like Poppi and Olipop transformed the soda space. But what came next? In this webinar, we used Mintel’s NEW Demand & Supply methodology to uncover the next big opportunity in Carbonated Soft Drinks (CSDs). We combined Mintel’s product launch data with Black Swan Data demand signals to pinpoint emerging opportunities in the drinks space—and how to act on them.

We explored where the next wave of innovation was coming from and how to turn emerging consumer demand into winning opportunities.
