Energy Drink Production in the US industry analysis

Energy drink producers have expanded robustly through the end of 2024, outperforming most other packaged beverage production industries. Beverage producers have benefited from boosted per capita disposable incomes, which has allowed consumers to steadily purchase industry goods, particularly as impulse purchases at convenience stores. However, health concerns regarding the safety of consuming energy drinks have deflated previous surges in demand for these products. Through the end of 2024, energy drink manufacturers saw an expansion in demand for their products, even during COVID-19. Specifically, revenue shot up an estimated 13.1% in 2020, because of a boost in energy drink consumption by consumers who felt more stress from e-exams, social isolation and other pandemic-related challenges during the time. Energy drink producer revenue will expand 0.8% in 2024 and will surge at a CAGR of 10.7% through the end of 2024 to reach an estimated $21.6 billion in 2024.

Trends and Insights

  • Major energy drink producers have introduced new soft drink products, including many different sweeteners, to mitigate the losses from lower consumption. Strong brand loyalty and new artisanal products have allowed producers to keep prices high while input costs fluctuated.
  • Energy drink producers primarily market products to younger demographic groups and rely on various retail outlets to sell their products. Many of these producers establish distribution agreements with large beverage companies, like Coca-Cola and Pepsi, to help distribute products.
  • Population concentration drives location choices. Regions with major metropolitan areas are home to several energy drink producers because of their access to end markets.
  • Energy drink producers compete based on several factors including price levels, range of products offered, product innovation and marketing. The expansion of private-label brands has also intensified price-based competition among manufacturers.
