PepsiCo announced Monday it will debut Pepsi Prebiotic Cola this fall, following its $1.95 billion acquisition of Poppi in May, according to Benzinga. Pepsi Prebiotic Cola launches four months after PepsiCo completed its $1.95 billion acquisition of Poppi in May. While overall U.S. soda consumption has declined over the past two decades, prebiotic sodas, such as Poppi and Olipop, have gained popularity among health-conscious consumers. Pepsi is turning to health trends like protein and fiber to boost demand as U.S. beverage sales decline. In the second quarter, North American volume fell 2%, though Pepsi Zero Sugar performed well.
