The DöhlerGroup offers you the complete range of modern CSD applications. Whether it be a concept like zero, light or even products with natural sweeteners like stevia virtually anything is possible.

With over 200 billion litres sold, carbonated soft drinks constitute the largest segment of non-alcoholic beverages after water.  Cola and cola-mix as well as orange and lemon flavoured soft drinks have dominated the global market for carbonated soft drinks for years. While regular sugar based product sales are stagnating, the most promising concept capable of unlocking new sales potential lies primarily in zero applications, light products and natural carbonates.

Zero carbonates are marketed as the male appealing alternative to classic light variations aimed at calorie-conscious predominantly female consumers.

Further innovative developments in this segment are focused on concepts like natural orange soft drinks that forego artificial colours and flavours in favour of natural alternatives and natural colas that replace citric acid with lemon juice in their product formulations.

As the largest market segment for non-alcoholic beverages, carbonated soft drinks appeal to a wide range of target groups. The right sweetener makes for one of the most important sensory attributes of a flavourful soft drink. The DöhlerGroup offers a comprehensive portfolio of innovative and natural sweetening systems under the umbrella brand MultiSweet Plus®. The new 'Sweetness Improving Technology' offers full bodied sweetness without bitter notes – with a flavour closer to sugar than any other product.

The current trend returning us to local values brings with it opportunities for interesting, traditional flavour variations typical to the region, such as plum. Exotic fruits like passion fruit, pomegranate, mandarin or ruby orange offer attractive new taste sensations.
