These products are made accessible through both off-trade channels and on-trade channels. The different classifications encompass mass and premium.

According to Beverage Daily, the kombucha market is projected to experience an annual growth rate of 25%. Recognizing the demand for health beverages, Pepsi is entering the market with products such as organic Gatorade.

This functional milk product is fortified with fiber to enhance digestion and immunity. Available in a mocha flavor, the milk is rich in fiber (5,500mg), protein, and calcium, making it a convenient choice for promoting gut health.
