Retail shelves are stocked with an abundance of new beverage products, notes Campden BRI, including recent launches of flavoured waters, energy drinks, low alcohol fruit drinks and no/low alcohol beers, lagers and ciders. This rapid innovation presents major technical challenges, the company believes, around formulation, stability, shelf life and labelling. Together with public health policies and changing consumer tastes, keeping ahead of the competition is a significant challenge.

- market trends
- processing and packaging technologies
- microbiological stability
- relevant legislation
