NEW YORK, April 21, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Evidnt, the leader in AI-powered retail intelligence, is proud to announce the launch of its Hot 250 CPG Brands list—a groundbreaking, data-driven ranking that spotlights the consumer packaged goods brands experiencing the fastest sales growth across U.S. retail channels.
Evidnt’s Hot 250 List
The Hot 250 isn’t just a list of bestsellers—it’s a real-time snapshot of category outperformance. Built using Evidnt’s proprietary Retailer IQ platform, the list leverages anonymized, daily POS data from over 28,000 independent retailers and on-premise locations, delivering unparalleled visibility into emerging trends, shifting consumer demand, and growth momentum at the shelf.
“For too long, CPG brands have lacked the real-time data needed to make timely, informed decisions,” said Alex Andreyev, CEO of Evidnt. “Evidnt changes that by bringing the 40% of CPG volume that happens in independent retail into full view. Our platform empowers brands to optimize spend, accelerate growth, and outmaneuver the competition.”
Proven to Spot Breakout Growth First
Evidnt’s Retailer IQ has already helped identify early market momentum for brands like COSRX, Rap Snacks, and Liquid Death—well before they became mainstream successes. These insights have given marketers and agencies a critical first-mover advantage in planning, targeting, and investment.
Today, new names are rising fast. No Whey! Foods is reshaping allergen-friendly confectionery with category-leading velocity, while Pyunkang Yul is gaining rapid share in the beauty aisle, outperforming legacy skincare brands with culturally resonant positioning and niche audience appeal.
