Beverage Mix: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $4.05 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $1.90 at volume, on a typical 30-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.

What moves the price
For beverage mix, the drivers are active ingredient type, mg per bite, coating, flavor, piece count, frozen vs shelf-stable, mg per piece, recipe type — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Quoted supplier pricing for custom drink powder typically falls with MOQ and pack format: a made-in-China hydration powder listing shows US$5.30 at 500-999 pieces, US$4.50 at 1,000-4,999, and US$2.80 at 5,000+ pieces, while broader wholesale market guides place standard drink powders around US$1.50-4.00/kg and electrolyte mixes around US$3.00-8.00/kg. Realistic sourcing routes are contract manufacturers/private-label suppliers for sachets or tubs, or import/landed-equivalent deals from marketplace factories; formula density, sweetener system, electrolytes, flavor complexity, and custom-printed packaging are the main cost drivers. Lead times for custom-run bulk beverage mixes are commonly about 3-5 weeks after artwork and formulation approval, with larger or more customized orders often taking longer.
