"Discover emerging consumer territories and obtain actionable insights and early predictive signals to drive winning innovation strategies."
Tylo Paredes, Insights Associates
The insights in this report draw on Black Swan Data’s social prediction technology to surface detailed opportunity areas, known as Trend Territories, in the US non-alcoholic beverages category, based on using AI to analyze millions of consumer conversations.
Think of a Trend Territory as a big-picture view of what consumers are genuinely excited about. Instead of getting lost in thousands of individual online comments, our Innovation Territories algorithm does the hard work for you. It listens to millions of consumer conversations and groups smaller, related topics into larger, more meaningful themes we call Trend Territories.
But it doesn’t stop there. The algorithm is designed to find the signals amongst the noise. It specifically focuses on trends that are either generating a lot of conversation or showing signs of rapid growth. We then analyze each one to rank them by their future potential.
This process gives you a clear and practical roadmap. You’ll see which trends have the momentum to act on right away and which promising ideas you should keep an eye on for future innovation. By looking at conversation volume and growth over the last two years, we provide the expert insight you need to make confident, forward-looking decisions.

Working in a customer-obsessed organization means that data and insights have to be at our fingertips. Mintel’s reports help us support anecdotes with real quantifiable insights. The summary sections (which I really like) helps save time by giving a birds eye view of the content before spending time combing through the pages.
Our business review discussions are strengthened by the relevancy of the reports to help us better understand our customers. In addition, the customer service received from the team (especially in crunch periods) makes the process of understanding customer behavior even better.
We utilize Mintel Reports, Trends and Comperemedia to mine for insights across the numerous business verticals that Epsilon serves, such as CPG, automotive, telecom, healthcare/pharma, retail and financial services.
By integrating Mintel insight into new business opportunities, we have been able to gain the competitive edge necessary to advance partnerships with global brands and key business players.
For our organization, it’s about depth and breadth. Having one without the other doesn’t enable success in our business.
We use Mintel to inform our thinking and reinforce strategy. If you’re presenting new ideas, it’s essential they are underpinned by robust data and evidence, and clearly rooted in fact.
Mintel gives us all that. It’s a great brand and one that is trusted by clients.
When I’m investigating specific sectors I tend to use Mintel reports for their forecasting, which I’ve always found to be very accurate.
They also offer really broad and deep coverage in their reports. They are very, very detailed. For example, we were able to gain insight across a wide range of business areas from just one report, proving that Mintel is excellent value for money.
So overall, it’s the level of detail and the quality of forecasting that really stand out for me.
One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.
We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.
We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.
Whatever your business needs, we have the solution. From market intelligence reports to customised growth strategies.
