Keurig Dr Pepper (KDP) has acquired Dyla Brands, a leading manufacturer of powdered drink mixes and liquid water enhancers, for $98 million. This acquisition complements KDP's existing portfolio and aims to provide consumers with a broader range of hydration options [3].

Dyla Brands specializes in powdered and liquid drink mixes and liquid water enhancers, including the popular STUR water enhancer, which is free of artificial flavors or sweeteners. The company also offers licensed products under KDP's trademarks, such as Crush, Hawaiian Punch, 7UP, and Snapple, as well as products with third-party brands like Dole, Ocean Spray, and C4 [3].

The acquisition will allow KDP to leverage Dyla's existing brands and partnerships to capitalize on the growing demand for functional, trend-forward, and on-the-go beverage enhancers and drink mixes. Nate Champagne, Vice President and General Manager of Juice, Snacks, and Mixes at KDP, noted that the acquisition provides a turn-key platform to immediately capitalize on this demand [1].

This move aligns with KDP's broader strategy to offer consumers more convenient and customizable ways to enhance their hydration routine. The company has seen strong financial performance in recent quarters, with sales up 6.1% in the second quarter of 2025 to $4.16 billion and earnings per share (EPS) of $0.49 [2]. Despite facing challenges in the coffee segment due to inflation, KDP remains optimistic about its future growth prospects, projecting mid-single-digit sales growth and high-single-digit growth in adjusted diluted EPS for 2025 [2].
