According to data from Circana, energy drinks are back in vogue with sales up by 14.6 percent in 2023 with total sales of $14.1 billion. There’s also a prediction from Custom Market Insights that there will be a compound annual growth rate of 8.3 percent through 2033. Despite the growth and popularity, the caffeine content of these beverages is a concern with Panera’s Charged Lemonade removed from the market as an example after facing two wrongful death lawsuits in 2023.
