The products of the non-alcoholic beverage industry are known as the most popular liquid refreshment drinks (LRB) and they include:
- bottled water (carbonated or not);
- sparkling drinks;
- energy drinks;
- sports drinks;
- drinks or fruit juices;
- ready-to-drink coffee and tea.
There are many strict regulations to follow when it comes to the distribution of food and drink products. Compliance with these rules is necessary to guarantee the products’ freshness and quality.
Distribution is an important pillar of the beverage industry. The soft drink industry’s unique supply chain and distribution system is its greatest asset. However, to enable the industry to realize its full potential, industry players must find creative ways to improve their efficiency to meet consumer demand, but also to face competition and ensure the company’s financial health.
