The Research
To stay competitive, we focus on getting to know our consumers better and anticipating their needs. We are creating the beverages our consumers reach for throughout their day and in every stage of their lives. We are developing more relevant connections with them through innovative marketing and merchandising programs, Internet communities and promotions.
In the largest consumer research study in our history, thousands of people in nearly 50 countries shared their ideas and opinions with us. What we learned is giving us new insight into the wide range of beverage needs, from refreshment to health, beauty and nutrition -- even happiness.

People expect more from their beverages. Our Beverage Institute For Health & Wellness partners with universities and other organizations on clinical trials and research to develop the next generation of beverages to refresh, energize and nourish. For example, the Institute works with the China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences to research the active ingredients in Chinese medicinal beverages and soups for the potential development of new beverages.
