Is coconut water the next sports drink?
Research has put coconut water head-to-head with conventional sports drinks for rehydration and found comparable effects in post-exercise hydration. Controlled exercise studies have found that coconut water can rehydrate as effectively as conventional carbohydrate-electrolyte drinks.

The category is gaining scale in Europe as we speak. The UK consumed more than 33 million litres of coconut water in 2024, while brands are expanding beyond straightforward hydration into flavoured and functional formats.

For food and beverage brands thinking about NPD in this space, there are regulatory and formulation constraints worth understanding before jumping in, but the positioning window is genuinely open right now.

Getting the recipe right is one thing. Getting it ready for commercial production is another. Scale changes how ingredients, equipment and processing conditions interact.

"Testing a product under real manufacturing conditions can reveal opportunities to optimise texture, stability, processing and cost."
-- Francois Le Cam, NPD

The goal isn’t simply to scale up a recipe. It’s to develop a food product that is consistent and efficient. At Agilery, we help food brands to get from initial formulation and pilot production to a food recipe that performs reliably at commercial scale.

One question worth asking early in any beverage development project: who leaves with the recipe?

When Agilery develops a formulation, the full documentation - exact ratios, process parameters, supplier references - transfers to the brand at handoff. That means when volumes grow and it makes sense to explore different manufacturing options or renegotiate terms, you have everything you need to make that call. No gaps in paperwork, no need to reconstruct the formula from scratch.

Manufacturing decisions stay where they belong - in your hands, driven by your growth plans. If you're planning a beverage launch, start with a feasibility conversation.

At some point, every product business runs into the same wall. The concept works. People like it. Maybe you’ve tested small batches. Then you need real production, not kitchen trials or pilot runs.
That’s when you start thinking about finding a manufacturer to make your product...

There's a predictable moment when food founders realise operations has become a full-time job.

It's not a crisis - it's slower than that. One week it's chasing a supplier for an updated spec sheet. The next it's reconciling a yield loss nobody flagged during the trial. Then a retailer asks for audit documentation that doesn't exist yet. None of it is dramatic on its own, but together it fills the calendar and pushes everything else to the margins.

The operational layer doesn't announce itself. It just quietly takes over.

New blog about Food Product Development is published!

Most briefs don’t arrive saying “develop a sauce.” They arrive saying: it needs to be high protein, no allium, shelf-stable, costed under a certain threshold, and suitable for pouch filling. Or: reformulate this snack bar with local ingredients but keep texture identical. That’s where the real work starts.

A drink can taste perfect in the lab and still fall apart the moment production starts.

We've just published a new guide on how our Beverage Innovation offer takes brands from concept to first pallet in about five to six months, without the packaging minimums and scaling surprises that trip most founders up.

Europe has around 291,000 food and beverage manufacturers. In most projects we run, fewer than 10% of initially contacted facilities ever reach serious negotiation.

The pool looks huge until you spell out the real constraints - your actual batch size, your packaging format, the certifications your target market requires, your launch window. A plant might technically run a similar SKU, but their minimum order is six months of working capital. Another can handle the format, but not the allergen profile. A third likes the concept but won't schedule anything below a volume you're two years from reaching. None of that shows up in a directory - it only surfaces once you're in real conversations.

At Agilery, we work with brands across both sides of this process - product development and finding the right manufacturing partner in Europe.

We've moved to Sihlquai 340 in Zurich West, together with the co-working community DasProvisorium

The new space comes with a significant lab upgrade - more room, better equipment, and the capacity to run food and beverage development projects in parallel. The team has grown, the project load has grown, and the new setup reflects that.
