▪ Convenience store foodservice sales include hot and cold prepared foods as well as dispensed beverages. Prepared food, including pizza, chicken, burgers, wraps and salads, remained the largest segment, representing 73.9% of foodservice sales, up from 66.4% in 2021.
▪ Functional beverages, drinks as snacks and AI-driven personalization are reshaping the beverage landscape. Consumers increasingly seek specific outcomes tied to health, lifestyle and personal needs, rather than choosing beverages solely for taste or hydration. This behavior is especially strong among consumers on GLP-1 medications.
▪ Energy drinks remain a hotspot and supplements with creatine have topped the $370 million mark, according to Circana.
▪ More than two-thirds (68%) of consumers sometimes enjoy a beverage as a snack, up seven percentage points from 2021. Advances in AI are enabling personalized discovery matched to individual health goals, taste preferences and occasions.
