About soft drink manufacturing services

cpc code 88184 covers the manufacturing services for soft drinks, a vital industry that plays a crucial role in the broader food and beverage sector. Soft drink production is a significant economic activity, providing employment and contributing to the overall supply chain. This industry's output is widely consumed across various other industries, making it an important component of the larger economy.

Production process

The soft drink manufacturing process typically involves several key steps. First, the raw materials, such as water, sweeteners, and flavorings, are carefully measured and combined. The mixture is then carbonated, either through the injection of carbon dioxide or by allowing natural carbonation to occur. The carbonated liquid is then filtered, pasteurized, and bottled or canned for distribution.

Production inputs

The main inputs required for soft drink manufacturing include water, sweeteners (such as sugar or high-fructose corn syrup), flavoring agents, and carbonation sources. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, such as mixing tanks, carbonation systems, and bottling/canning machinery. Packaging materials, such as bottles, cans, and labels, are also essential inputs for this industry.

Production outputs

The primary output of the soft drink manufacturing industry is, of course, the soft drinks themselves. These products are then consumed by a wide range of industries, including 72111 Food service contractors, 44511 (Supermarkets and other grocery (except convenience) stores), and 44512 Convenience stores. The soft drink industry's output also serves as an input for other food and beverage manufacturing industries, such as 31211 Soft drink and ice manufacturing.
