Companies that belong to the American Beverage Association make and sell some of the world’s most popular and innovative non-alcoholic beverages. You might say that our members quench America’s thirst.

The non-alcoholic beverage industry plays an important role in the U.S. economy. Our industry has a direct economic impact of over $247 billion, provides more than 272,000 jobs and helps to support hundreds of thousands more that depend, in part, on beverage sales for their livelihoods. Beverage companies and their employees, and the firms and employees indirectly employed by the industry, provide significant tax revenues – $14 billion at the state level and more than $32 billion at the federal level. In addition, the beverage companies that produce and distribute non-alcoholic beverages in the U.S. and their employees contribute $2.5 billion to charitable causes in communities across the nation.
