Energy Drinks Market based on type can be further segmented into Caffeinated and Decaffeinated beverages. Caffeinated Beverages held a dominant market share in 2023. Caffeine is by far the most primitive and commonly used product in energy drinks owing to its stimulant nature to increase alertness and energy. Furthermore, label claims allow the category to hold a strong share. For example, leading brands promote energy drinks as functional drinks to boost energy and reduce daily stress, whilst improving concentrations to improve work efficiency. Owing to the following claims brand such as Red Bull and Monster continue to experience strong preference amongst the consumers. In January 2023, the beverage brand Prime launched a new energy drink called Prime Energy, which contains 200mg of caffeine and zero-sugar. However, the de-caffeinated segment is estimated to be the fastest-growing, with a CAGR of 10.5% over the forecast period of 2024-2030. It is due to the various findings claiming the ill effects of caffeine on health. Caffeine causes restlessness, nausea and anxiety, amongst other potential side effects.

Energy Drinks Market based on distribution channels can be further segmented into B2B and B2C Channels. B2C held a dominant market share in 2023 and is estimated to be the fastest-growing segment with a CAGR of 11% over the forecast period of 2024-2030. It is due to the immense reach of energy drinks through various intermediaries of off-trade channels. Intermediaries such as Walmart or TARGET amongst many other small-and-convenience stores provide consumers the needed luxury to buy products at ease. Leveraging B2C distribution channels allows energy drink companies to penetrate new markets and expand their customer base efficiently. By utilizing digital marketing tools, social media platforms, and e-commerce websites, brands can reach consumers globally, breaking geographical barriers and tapping into diverse demographics and consumer preferences. Furthermore, the online-channel growth would continue to proliferate the B2C channel. 

North America dominated the market with a 31% share in 2023. It is owing to the rising consumption of caffeine-induced products such as coffee and energy drinks which have proliferated the market share. Energy drinks are an integral part of social gatherings, parties and celebrations in the United States. Manufacturers such as Red Bull and Monster Beverages are offering their energy drinks in multiple flavors and two major packaging. However, Asia-Pacific is expected to offer lucrative growth opportunities over the forecast period of 2024-2030. It is because of a substantial young population in the region, with sub-standard purchasing capacity. According to the International Labour Organization (ILO), India has the world's largest youth population. As of 2022, 66% of India's population is under 35 years old, which is more than 808 million people.
