Drinks production is a huge industry in which massive sums are spent on advertising to try and attract loyal customers. The market is forever introducing new options trying to break through against the major brands, whether it be soft drinks, cordials, those rejuvenating energies or the alcohol sector aiming at adults.
One type of drink that is increasingly popular comes from the production of powdered beverages. Paul Stevens Hollis produced the first powdered drink in 1922 called Poly Pop. Since those days production has increased and technology improved as powdered drinks cater mainly for children, bodybuilders, athletes, dieters, or simply as a vitamin supplement.
Here are some of the advantages of powdered beverages
- In a powdered form a drink is preserved for a far longer time giving it an extended shelf life.

They are easy to pack into small bags or with the kit when adding out to the sport or the gym without weighing hardly anything, whereas water-based drinks which can become heavy when carried around.
- Transportation is another benefit of the small light packets of powdered beverages as again, they take up so little room, allowing logistical departments to fill their load with other products. If delivery is held up there is no problem of the drink getting too hot or becoming unfit for usage.
