HYDRATION AWARENESS
Hydration took off in the 1960s when a sports performance drink company began marketing hydration as a problem that needed to be solved. Today, the hydration market has evolved into something greater as water bottles have become a status symbol rather than just a vehicle for quenching your thirst.
Consumer interest in hydration has been intensified by a general increase in post-COVID wellness goals, attention to preventative self-care and trust in fortified food and drink.
