SoftDrinks Tech 2026 announces business round for beverage industry

SoftDrinks Tech 2026, a major event for the Brazilian non-alcoholic beverage industry, has announced an official business round. Organized by LinkeMe, with partnership from TrioXP, the initiative is designed to facilitate structured meetings between retailers, distributors, and emerging beverage brands.

The move responds to significant shifts in consumer behavior. Data from NielsenIQ indicates a growing consumer preference for beverages focused on health, well-being, hydration, energy, and functionality. Additionally, McKinsey & Company reports that the global wellness market has reached a value of approximately US$ 2 trillion, driven largely by younger generations seeking nutritional and performance-based benefits.

The business round aims to help retailers identify and incorporate new suppliers that can meet these evolving demands and refresh product assortments.
