Pepsico Expands Portfolio with Gatorade Water for Wellness Seekers

–NewsDesk (cbedit@imaws.org)

In a bold move aimed at expanding its already dominant presence in the hydration market, Gatorade, a multi-billion-dollar brand under PepsiCo’s umbrella, is set to introduce its very first water-based offering. Aptly named “Gatorade Water,” this innovative beverage is slated to hit store shelves in the first quarter of 2024.

Gatorade Water brings the trusted electrolyte-infused formula, traditionally popular among athletes and fitness enthusiasts, to a broader audience seeking healthier hydration options for everyday life. One distinguishing feature of this product is its alkalinity, boasting a pH level of 7.5 or higher.

Emily Boido, Senior Director of Marketing at Gatorade, emphasized the brand’s commitment to addressing consumers’ holistic wellness needs. “People are looking for wellness solutions throughout the day, not just when they are active,” she stated in a recent interview. “We’re looking to provide a suite of solutions across our [Gatorade] portfolio that really hit whatever your individualized needs are, whether that’s performance, wellness, or somewhere in between.”

For the initial launch, Gatorade Water will keep things simple by not incorporating any flavors. This move is strategic, targeting consumers who prefer unflavored beverages in their quest for hydration. It’s important to note that Gatorade also owns Propel, a range of flavored fitness waters enriched with electrolytes, vitamins, and antioxidants, catering to those who desire a taste sensation with their hydration.

Despite Gatorade’s status as an industry juggernaut with annual sales soaring over $6 billion and commanding over 70% of the sports drink market, the brand is eager to explore new avenues to meet evolving consumer demands.

Competition is on the rise, with brands like Coca-Cola’s BodyArmor gaining popularity. This puts the onus on Gatorade, a stalwart in the beverage industry for decades, to maintain relevance with its core audience while simultaneously attracting and retaining new users.

Gatorade Water is the latest addition to the brand’s ever-expanding product lineup. In 2022, Gatorade ventured into the energy drink category with its inaugural caffeinated offering, “Fast Twitch.” Additionally, they introduced dietary supplements as gummies, marking their entry into this sector. A year earlier, the brand rolled out “Gatorlyte,” a beverage specifically designed for athletes seeking rapid rehydration with more electrolytes and less sugar than their traditional sports drinks.

PepsiCo, citing IRI data, highlights that there are more than 30 million “active consumers” who have not yet embraced enhanced water products. Gatorade Water is strategically positioned to attract this untapped segment, aligning perfectly with the broader trend among consumers towards low- and no-sugar hydration options, which have been the driving force behind recent growth in the sports drink category.

As the beverage landscape continues to evolve, Gatorade’s foray into the water market demonstrates its commitment to meeting the diverse needs of consumers, whether they’re on the field, in the gym, or simply looking for a refreshing, healthier way to stay hydrated throughout their day.
