While the beverage industry is booming with [fizzy drinks with fiber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibre-up-soft-drinks), Newater is emerging as a drink that "looks like water, tastes like water, [and] fuels your gut like nothing else." While some [beverages with functional benefits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mighty) can get bogged down by lengthy ingredient lists, Newater keeps it simple with just water, six grams of soluble maize fiber, magnesium and lemon juice to support a healthy and well-balanced microbiome. Like [popular prebiotic sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trader-joes-prebiotic-soda), crisp and clean Newater is packaged in infinitely recyclable aluminum cans. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 50% | Activity: 59% | Freshness: 45% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Lifestyle](https://www.trendhunter.com/lifestyle) > [Drinking](https://www.trendhunter.com/drinking) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Hydration-fiber Convergence:** The combination of hydration and fiber enhancement in beverages provides a dual benefit approach that offers new avenues for health-focused product development. - **Clean-label Functional Beverages:** Minimal ingredient lists in functional beverages are gaining popularity, driving demand for products that prioritize transparency and simplicity. - **Sustainability in Beverage Packaging:** The use of infinitely recyclable aluminum cans in beverage packaging reflects a shift towards more sustainable and environmentally friendly consumer products. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Functional Beverage Industry:** Functional beverages like Newater cater to a growing market of consumers seeking health benefits from their drink choices beyond simple hydration. - **Nutraceuticals:** The integration of prebiotic fibers into everyday beverages aligns with the nutraceutical industry's focus on preventive health solutions. - **Sustainable Packaging:** With eco-friendly packaging becoming a key selling point, the sustainable packaging industry is poised to support the transition towards greener consumer products. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Prebiotic Coconut Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cocogoodsco-prebiotics-coconut-water.md) - [Prebiotic Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/organic-prebiotic-sparkling-water.md) - [Functional Prebiotic Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibe.md) - [Fruity High-Fiber Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nabe-soda.md) - [Prebiotic Sparkling Waters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/prebiotic-sparkling-water.md) - [Bubbly Prebiotic Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bubbly-prebiotic-soda.md) - [Mineral-Enhanced Prebiotic Sodas](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dalstons-prebiotic-soda.md) - [Prebiotic-Rich Clean-Label Sparkling Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleanlabel-sparkling-drinks.md) - [Real-Food Prebiotic Drinks](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/daily-gut-health-support.md)
