The RTD protein and meal replacement drink market represents the successful transformation of two niche segments that have broken out of their narrow niches to form a segment that is increasingly mainstream and coming to be known as “engineered nutrition”. Comprised of the unlikely pairing of RTD Protein (which emerged as the next generation of the early powdered specialty product for body builders) and meal replacement drinks (which have successfully transformed from their perception as a stodgy, medicinal and geriatric product to one that also addresses the needs of consumers with healthy, active, on-the-go lifestyles), this segment is a key example of how beverage categories are evolving beyond their traditional roles to address the needs and lifestyles of a new generation of consumers. With new brands and new ingredients making inroads in the segment, will the category reach new heights?
