FMI’s inaugural Power of Beverage report combines Circana sales data with predictive cultural forecasting from Nichefire to examine a $295 billion retail category.
The study pairs responses from 2,003 shoppers with signals designed to identify cultural movement 12 to 18 months ahead. It gives beverage leaders a view of not only what sold, but why demand is changing and where it may move next.
For Nichefire, the partnership is a strong market signal: predictive cultural intelligence is becoming part of how an established industry institution explains and anticipates category growth.

Nichefire shows leaders which cultural signals are accelerating and where to move before demand becomes obvious. Walmart, Nestlé, and Kraft Heinz use it to make earlier calls on category growth.
