Consumers are looking for healthy convenience. As lives get busier, consumers need ready-to-eat foods that will fit into their lifestyle. However, they are no longer willing to sacrifice health and taste for convenience. Having healthy options ready to purchase without waiting for customer service is a plus in many foodservice businesses. And using Federal Industry merchandisers can make it even easier.
Bottled Water During Hot Months
For over a decade, consumers have trended toward the purchase of bottled water over less healthy drink options. According to the International Bottled Water Association, bottled water ranks as the largest beverage category by volume in the United States for the fourth consecutive year in 2019. Not only has bottled water consumption been on the rise, but consumers are expecting to be able to purchase bottled water anywhere drinks are sold.
There are a number of reasons bottled water is on the rise, but the most common one is consumers are shifting to healthier choices. They want options that have fewer calories and less sugar. People are recognizing the health benefits of choosing water over less-healthy options. In addition, some consumers are concerned about the environment. Since water bottles tend to use a lighter weight plastic than sugary drinks, drink selections might also be based on plastic containers.
