Non-Alcoholic & Alcoholic Beverages in U.S. as Sales Continue to Climb

Published by Press release

PALM BEACH, Fla.March 14, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary

The production, distribution, and sale of alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverages generate billions of dollars in the United States and worldwide every year. In the United States, the beverage industry is valued at $146 billion. The U.S. drink industry includes both alcoholic and non-alcoholic beverage production and distribution. On average, alcoholic beverage sales generate roughly $252.82 billion annually across the nation, while non-alcoholic drink sales bring in an estimated $414,838 million per year. Industry watchdog, PipeCandy recently said that: “It is an exciting time to be in the beverage industry. Products such as… cold brew coffee, and hard seltzer which are largely considered as non-existent, are now filling the front and center of grocery display cases. On the other hand, the news products such as CBD infused beverages, vegan beverages are in demand as well. Changes in lifestyle and consumption habits of the new-age consumers are two major reasons driving this change.  New age consumers, mainly millennials are health-focused. They are expecting functional benefits from their beverages that are consumed on a regular basis. This behavior has led to the rise of a new category of beverages called “miracle drinks”. CBD infused sparkling water, plant-based milk beverages are popular examples under this category. The global beverage market is driven by consumer demand for premium/super-premium products. This is mainly due to the increase in the young-adult demographic, coupled with the increase in the spending power of millennials.”  Active companies in the markets this week include Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE: SBEV), Anheuser-Busch InBev SA/NV (NYSE: BUD), The Coca-Cola Company (NYSE: KO), Celsius Holdings, Inc. (NASDAQ: CELH), Constellation Brands, Inc. (NYSE: STZ).

The article continued: “A survey conducted by Global Web Index says that ‘Half of the digital consumers say environmental concerns impact their purchasing decisions’. Beverage companies are responding to this by moving towards more eco-friendly options. They are slowly encouraging the use of bio-friendly packaging, recyclable plastic containers. As most of the popular leading retailers are coming up with their own private-label brands, private-labeled products are fastly occupying the central rows of the major retail stores. For instance, Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Trader Joe’s, Whole Foods Market, Target Corp., and Costco all have launched private-label drinks of various beverages categories. This is bringing loads of traction and growth in the private label beverage market.”

Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE American: SBEV) BREAKING NEWS:  Splash Beverage Group Expands AB ONE Agreement to Include AB ONE SoCal as TapouT is Launched in Southern California Walmart Stores Distribution Region Covers Population of More Than 20 Million – Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (“Splash” or the “Company”), a portfolio company of leading beverage brands, today announced the expansion of its existing agreement with AB ONE to include AB ONE SoCal.  Southern California is AB ONE’s largest single market in the US and covers an area with a population of more than 20 million through national chains that include Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons and Winco Foods.

Robert Nistico, CEO of Splash Beverage Group’s commented, “As we add a new dimension to our existing relationship with AB ONE with this strategic launch of AB ONE SoCal, it’s important the market understands the significance of these announcements which is, product availability and revenue. There are two “paths to revenue” for Splash (and most beverage companies) … either adding distributors or selling direct to retail chains.  In this case, AB ONE is our customer.  We sell to them and that initiates the very quick AR cycle for Splash.  “DSD” (direct store delivery) distributors like this send us a purchase order, we immediately ship the product from our warehouses, and they pay us, it’s that simple.

“Their job is to deliver to retail and put it on the shelf.  Of course, we help by providing retail key chain authorizations such as Walmart for example.  The incredible string of distribution agreements we have secured since mid-January launches a revenue stream for Splash in this vital distribution network.”

Nistico continued, “AB ONE SoCal services more than 15,000 accounts and covers one of the most populous regions of the country.  These regions include Central LA, Pomona, Beach Cities, Sylmar and San Diego, and customers will see our three top brands, TapouT Performance, Copa Di Vino and Pulpoloco Sangria featured prominently throughout.  Included as well within this distribution network are more than 45 Walmart locations where TapouT will now be sold.  We couldn’t be more exited at this next stage of our rapidly evolving business.”  CONTINUED… Read the Splash Beverage full press release by going to:  https://splashbeveragegroup.com/investor/press/
