The drink itself starts off with pure filtered water with [blueberry and pomegranate infused](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/blueberry-pomegranate-bubly) to give it a sweet, fruity flavor that also includes their health benefits. The brand itself has also shifted to a new slim can packaging with new branding to boot as part of its effort to freshen up the range, keep it relevant with shoppers and further drive home its benefits. Managing Director of Breakthrough Brands at [Carlsberg Britvic](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-libra-watermelon-strawberry) Russel Goldman commented on the Aqua Libra rebranding saying, "We know that consumers of all demographics are becoming more engaged with hydration and the associated health credentials, especially those in the younger generations such as Gen Z. This trend is only set to grow, and brands need to innovate to fit a variety of consumption occasions. So, with Aqua Libra’s move to sleek cans, modern new visual identity and clear health credentials, we’re providing retailers with the tools they need to captivate this group." ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.4/10 - Popularity: 67% | Activity: 75% | Freshness: 49% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Food](https://www.trendhunter.com/food) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Health-conscious Beverages:** The emphasis on health benefits in hydration drinks reflects a growing consumer desire for beverages that offer functional attributes beyond just thirst-quenching. - **Sleek Packaging Design:** The transition to slim can packaging highlights the rising importance of compact and aesthetically appealing designs in attracting younger, design-savvy consumers. - **Flavor Innovation in Infused Waters:** Leveraging unique fruit blends like blueberry and pomegranate in sparkling water underlines the pursuit of novel flavor combinations to distinguish products in a competitive market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Beverage Industry:** The incorporation of health-focused ingredients and innovative packaging within the beverage sector indicates a shift towards catering to consumer health and design preferences. - **Packaging Industry:** The move towards sleek, modern packaging designs indicates a demand for visually engaging packaging that stands out on retail shelves and resonates with younger demographics. - **Health and Wellness Sector:** Integrating functional ingredients into everyday beverages points to an opportunity within the health and wellness sector to appeal to consumers seeking lifestyle-enriching products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Enticing Hydration Refreshment Launches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-libra-peach-kiwi.md) - [Summer-Themed Sparkling Soda Flavors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-libra-watermelon-strawberry.md) - [Summery Sparkling Water Packs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aqua-libra-sparkling-selection.md) - [Clean-Label Hydration Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-wonder-of-water-campaign.md) - [Hydration-Driven Fruit Beverages](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/belvoir-farm.md) - [Ready-to-Drink Squash Refreshments](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/robinsons-blackberry-blueberry.md) - [Fruity Vitamin-Boosted Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rubicon-spring-vits.md) - [Nutritionally Enhanced Flavored Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boost-water.md) - [Canned Fruit-Forward Hydration Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/punchy-everyday-hydration.md)
