Scope
The year came to a somewhat uninspiring conclusion for the United States' commercial beverage market. Consumption in Q4-17 held flat year on year, resulting in a similar performance for 2017 overall. The year was concerning for many beverage producers grappling with slowdowns in almost every major category
Soft drinks consumption in Q4-17 rose marginally year on year, helping buoy top line commercial beverage performances. Packaged water volumes ascended another 5% in the quarter, propelled by strengthening health and wellness trends, but the positivity from this growth was countered by another 2% loss in carbonates
The demand for commercial beverages including dairy, hot drinks and alcoholic beverages all hindered total market performance. White milk continued its decline, leaving total dairy beverage demand down by over 2% in Q4-17, while challenges in the beer market have caused alcoholic beverage sales to stumble in recent quarters. After a positive Q3-17 for hot drinks, the category reverted back to its path of decline this time around
The US economy continued to improve as retail sales held strong, the labor market remained tight and wages were on the rise. However, key channels like food services and convenience stores were undermined by stagnant foot traffic, and served as headwinds to commercial beverage growth
In a quick turnaround, Cook County's sweetened beverage tax was repealed after only a few months. Despite the victory for the industry, policy risks remained high as sugar taxes had been implemented in a number of other large cities, the most notable being Philadelphia
