Join the ‘Making of Healthy Beverages’ Webcast, Dec. 11, 2 p.m. ESTWhat’s driving the development of healthy beverages? What brands are making it in the market? What will the future hold for this broad category of healthy beverages? Find out during a special webcast presented by Beverage World magazine and co-sponsored by Healthy Beverage Expo, a leading trade show that focuses on better-for-you beverages with healthful ingredients. The free online presentation takes place Wednesday, Dec. 11 from 2 – 3 p.m. EST.

According to Beverage World, making beverages more healthy and wholesome is driving the development of non-alcoholic beverages today. From all-natural alternative sweeteners and superfruits, to anti-aging and energy replenishment, the market for the newest generation of natural and functional products has become increasingly specialized.

George Jage, founder and director of Healthy Beverage Expo, says, “The industry needs to pay close attention because healthy beverages are in no way a passing fad. Consumers and industry buyers are demanding these kinds of drinks in the marketplace. In fact, based on a Healthy Beverage Expo survey of the SupermarketGuru.com Consumer Panel, we know that a majority of consumers — 73 percent — are willing to pay more for a healthy beverage; this emphasizes the strong opportunity for the industry and the importance of this segment.”
