The greatest threat to long-term growth in energy drinks in the US may emerge from the fact that demand for energy-boosting products and ingredients is increasingly satisfied by adjacent categories, that would not strictly be defined as “energy drinks”. The evolution of the demand for energy, from a minor category to consumer need state across food and beverages, means that energy drinks now competes with new products (water, tea, coffee or confectionery) with functional propositions in many styles, flavours and formats.
Energy drinks players are amongst the US soft drinks producers and brands experimenting with alcoholic drinks launches. In January 2022, Monster Beverage acquired CANarchy Craft Brewery Collective, a leading craft beer brewer and distributor based in Colorado, for USD330 million.
As the immune support positioning of Mtn Dew Energy suggests, leading energy drinks brands are now integrating functional ingredients beyond caffeine. In the case of performance energy, this frequently includes creatine and/or branch-chain amino acids (BCAA) intended to assist in muscle growth and alleviate muscle fatigue.
