Direct peers

• LaCroix (National Beverage): LaCroix is the leading naturally flavored sparkling water brand in the US and the most established zero- and low-sugar alternative to traditional soda, competing with Zevia for the same mainstream health-conscious consumer at mass retail.
• Spindrift: Spindrift is a venture-backed sparkling water brand using real fruit ingredients with no artificial sweeteners, occupying adjacent shelf space to Zevia and competing for the same better-for-you shopper at grocery and natural retail.
• Yerba Madre (formerly Guayaki): Yerba Madre is a venture-backed yerba mate energy and beverage brand pursuing zero-sugar, clean-label positioning; Zevia's incoming CCO Brian Bousley was most recently CCO at Yerba Madre, indicating direct strategic overlap in channel and consumer.

Emerging players

• Celsius Holdings: Celsius is a fast-growing better-for-you energy drink brand with major distribution through PepsiCo, competing directly with Zevia Energy in fitness and health-oriented channels with zero-sugar positioning.
• Olipop: Olipop is a venture-backed better-for-you soda brand that uses stevia and prebiotics to compete directly with Zevia in the natural/functional soda category, targeting the same health-conscious consumers at grocery and natural retail channels.
• Poppi: Poppi is a prebiotic soda brand acquired by PepsiCo in 2025, offering low-sugar flavored sodas that directly overlap with Zevia's zero-sugar, clean-label positioning, particularly among Millennial and Gen Z consumers.

Broad incumbents

• Dr Pepper Snapple Group (Keurig Dr Pepper): Keurig Dr Pepper holds Dr Pepper, Canada Dry, and other mainstream soda brands; its portfolio competes for the same mass retail shelf sets as Zevia and provides the conventional-soda foil to Zevia's better-for-you positioning.
• The Coca-Cola Company: Coca-Cola is the global soft drink leader whose portfolio (Coke Zero, Diet Coke, AHA sparkling water, Fairlife) competes across every channel where Zevia distributes, and which Zevia's "Real Soda for Real Humans" campaign explicitly targets as the artificial incumbent.
• PepsiCo: PepsiCo is the second-largest global beverage company; its Bubly, Stubborn, and Poppi brands compete directly with Zevia in zero-sugar and better-for-you sparkling categories, and PepsiCo's bottling/distribution scale sets the structural ceiling Zevia must navigate.
• Monster Beverage: Monster Beverage is the leading independent energy drink company; its zero-sugar and Java Monster lines compete directly with Zevia Energy (120mg caffeine, stevia-sweetened) in the growing better-for-you energy segment.
