After successfully predicting last year's beverage trends, custom beverage development company, Flavorman chimes in on what we should expect to see in 2023!

“We’re predicting a transition toward functionality, simplicity, and natural alternatives in the beverage space,” said David Dafoe, founder and CEO, Flavorman. “We’re thrilled to bring back another year of predictions and hope they’re as enjoyable for everyone else as it is for us to have these conversations." 

1. FRUITY & DELICIOUS

Drinks that include pineapple, mango, and grapefruit, with floral elderflower and soothing lavender providing a sophisticated essence and a balanced blend of flavours.

2. MINIMALISM

The expected 2023 beverage shift to tropical and tangy coincides with the general market leaning toward “better-for-you” alternatives, with consumers expected to gravitate toward “less is more” regarding colour, packaging, and design. Additionally, an emphasis on clean ingredient statements. 

3. SUSTAINABILITY

Environmentally-friendly materials and sustainable packages are expected to remain a primary focus as the general public seeks recyclable alternatives.
