As the consumer trends away from high-carb sodas like regular Coke and Pepsi, there is a question as to where the focus of their energies will land. Analyst Lauren Torres discusses.
TWST: In the non-carbs, is there a hot product or category?
Ms. Torres: Yes, it’s a combination of a couple of different categories. If you are looking at, for instance, bottled water, last year that category grew 16.5%, sports drinks were up about 12%, and teas also did very well. So I’d probably highlight those three categories as having the best growth and where we expect to continue to see growth.
