A brief history of the beverage manufacturing industry!

The Beverage Manufacturing Journey

If you’re new to the beverage industry and exploring the drink manufacturing process, understanding its history will help you see just how far it has evolved.

A Global Industry of Precision and Scale

The beverage manufacturing process is one of the most efficient manufacturing systems in the world.
Driven by enormous global demand, American, European, and Asian drink manufacturers have become increasingly equipped to manufacture drinks at high speed and low cost.

As a beverage manufacturer in these regions, you are connected to some of the largest and most competitive beverage markets on the planet.

From Ancient Roots to Large-Scale Production

The origins of beverage manufacturing date back to the dawn of civilization. For as long as history has been recorded, we have been beverage manufacturers — brewing tea, growing grapes for wine, and creating small-batch drinks in home industries.

These early drink manufacturers often made slightly more than they needed, selling the surplus to supplement their income. Over the centuries, the process became more streamlined, with beverage manufacturing shifting to a much larger scale:

• Farms producing grapes for wine pressing

• Tea plantations with processing facilities

• Other forms of large-scale drink manufacturing emerging

By this stage, a single beverage manufacturer could produce enough product to supply an entire region.

Pioneers of Modern Beverage Manufacturing

Fast forward to the late 19th century — Coca-Cola, founded in 1886, became one of the first major international beverage manufacturers. This marked the beginning of the modern era, setting the stage for today’s highly advanced drink manufacturing and beverage production industry.

Coca-Cola is still the largest soft drink manufacturer in the world.

While many different categories make up the American beverage product picture, carbonated soft drinks (CSDs) and their diet counterparts continue to be some of the most popular, hence the extensive network of soft drink manufacturers. Since the early days of our nation’s history, carbonated soft drinks have occupied a unique place in the hearts, minds and palates of the American consumer and this was all made possible by our nations soft drink manufacturers.  Request Free Information >

The term soft drink is derived from the phrase “soda water,” dating back to 1798. At that time, soft drink creation and soda fountain manufacturing were handled by local pharmacists because of their experience with chemistry and medicine. In 1835, the first bottled soda water was produced. This marked the start of carbonated soft drink manufacturing.

As the local drugstore evolved into the central attraction in most American towns and neighborhoods, the pharmacist was integral in providing beverages that were part pharmacology and part refreshment. Soft drink manufacturing was part art and part science back then. By 1876, root beer entered the marketplace, but it wasn’t until five years later that the first cola-flavored beverage was unveiled. Soft drink manufacturers were about to become very busy. It would be more than 70 years before the first “official” diet soft drink was introduced in 1952, this marked a significant change for the soft drink manufacturing industry. In 1958, RC Cola introduced Diet Rite®, the first nationally distributed diet soft drink. Tab, Fresca® and Diet Pepsi® entered the marketplace in the 1960s; 

Sugar-free 7UP was introduced in 1970; & Diet Coke made its debut in 1982.

Soft drink manufacturers were in full stride by this point. 

 In 2024, the U.S. soft drinks market was valued at approximately $286.25 billion and is projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 7.7% from 2024 to 2033. 

This growth is driven by increasing consumer demand for low-calorie, zero-sugar, and functional beverages enriched with vitamins and minerals. For information on starting your drink company contact America’s leading beverage industry experts.
