Palm Beach, FL – July 21, 2022 – FinancialNewsMedia.com News Commentary – Energy drinks are gaining immense popularity among millennials. The primary reason for this popularity is directly related to the aggressive marketing campaigns, which are mainly directed toward young consumers. Furthermore, advertisements are promoting that energy drinks ignite the mind, refresh the body, and enhance performance and stamina, which is further capturing consumer attention. Furthermore, the increasing consumer participation in-home workout sessions due to the closure of gyms and fitness clubs, followed by the work from home scenario, also supported the off-trade sales of energy drinks in the North American region. A report from Mordor Intelligence projected that the North American energy drinks market was valued at USD 18,778.79 million in 2020, and it is projected to grow at a CAGR of 3.80% through 2026. The report said: “The energy drink market of North America is quite mature in terms of absolute sales growth. In fact, North America is leading the energy drinks market scenario primarily lead by the United States. The energy drinks in cans are perceived to be more portable for their on-the-go consumption, and their availability in various distribution outlets, such as kiosks, convenience stores, and supermarkets/hypermarkets has strongly fueled the purchase of canned energy drinks in the region.” Active companies in the markets this week include Splash Beverage Group, Inc. (NYSE: SBEV), AMCON Distributing Company (NYSE American: DIT), TravelCenters of America Inc. (NASDAQ: TA), Constellation Brands (NYSE: STZ), Albertsons Companies (NYSE: ACI).
Mordor Intelligence continued: “The consumption of energy drinks has turned into a status symbol, especially for the youth residing in urban areas. This has resulted in an increased dependence on energy drinks. The energy drinks market is majorly driven by consumers seeking healthy hydration options by adding liquid enhancers to water. Additionally, certain clean-label claims, like gluten-free, sugar-free, and organic, among others, are influencing consumers, primarily teenagers and young adults (major target consumers), who indulge in sports activities. Companies in the US energy drinks market are coming up with consumer-oriented advertisements, coupled with wide varieties of energy drinks. They are also engaged in cross-promotional tactics, such as promoting their products through sports-related events or hiring popular sports icons to advertise their products… In order to increase their market share, companies are increasingly innovating in the category, especially in terms of flavors, as energy drinks are majorly preferred among the youth population of the region. Therefore, exploring new flavors would be the major factor in attracting new customers.”
