Energy drinks
have become a staple of the average diet around the world since most consumers will have at least one energy drink per month. The big question is, with increased consumer demand, what can we expect from the global energy drink market in 2020 and beyond?
What is happening with the energy drink market, the latest trends, and what we can expect from energy drinks in the coming years.
Energy Drink Market Growth
Going into 2020, the growth of the global energy drink market looked strong for 2020, and that expectation isn’t expected to change in spite of recent challenges to the supply chain due to COVID-19.
Allied Market Research recent data: the market size is expected to grow by a CAGR of at least 7.20% by 20206, that’s $86.01 billion, a clear sign that energy drinks are no longer consumed by people just before they exercise, energy drinks are consumed at all hours of the day or night by consumers from all walks of life.
2020 consumers can now enjoy energy drinks in a wide variety of flavors and combinations, including carbonated and non-carbonated varieties.

Tenzing Energy Drinks
announced that they are releasing a new energy drink to the market, their Blackberry & Acai drink. It combines delicious berries with vegan branched-chain amino acids and is the company’s first foray into natural energy drinks.
Even though energy drinks have been on the market in some form now for over 20 years, what most people don’t know is that most energy drinks contain BCAA’s, and keratin, a product that comes from animal-derived sources.
Thankfully, the company was able to develop an alternative source of BCAA’s by extracting them from corn when they use probiotic bacteria.
The Better For You Energy Drink
As more consumers learn the truth about what their favorite energy drinks contain, they will likely begin researching healthy alternatives, and this is where companies like Tenzing Energy drinks come into play.
The company’s new natural energy drink contains a blend of vitamin c, electrolytes, and caffeine. Besides these core ingredients, you will find a wide variety of other natural ingredients in a typical 68 calorie can, including Himalayan Rock Salt, Green Tea, Green Coffee, Beet Sugar, British Blackberries, Acai Berries, BCAA’s and Acerola Cherries.

New from
Proper Snacks
, with more consumers asking for “better for you” snack options in this day and age, Proper is meeting that demand by expanding their chip line with a delicious Salt & Vinegar flavor.
Unlike other chip brands on the market today, Proper creates healthy potato chips that don’t include any ingredients that you can’t spell. Their all-vegan chips are only seasoned with apple cider vinegar and sea salt, so you know what you’re consuming with each delicious bite.
What’s even better about their new salt and vinegar flavor is that they contain 30 percent less fat than traditional potato chips and no citric acid! This is a great advantage to consumers who still want to have the ability to enjoy potato chips (crisps) without having to wonder about what they are consuming.
Great Taste + Healthy Is A Win-Win For Proper
Although healthy chips have always been on the market in some form, most brands sadly don’t last long because they fail to meet the consumer requirement of tasting great.

Summer is almost here, and
Calypso
has just announced that they are releasing a new line of lemonade flavors, including Ocean Blue Lemonade, Strawberry Lemonade, Original Lemonade, and Southern Peach Lemonade.
Each of these new lemonades has its trademark “island–inspired lemonade taste” that people have come to know and love from Calypso beverages for the last 20 years.
What’s excellent about Calypso lemonades is that besides tasting great, these beverages only have five calories per 16-ounce, $1.79 bottle, and they contain ZERO grams of sugar. Contrast this to the 27 grams of sugar that can be found in a can of Pepsi, and it’s easy to see that Calypso lemonades are a smart choice for any health-conscious consumer who wants to limit their sugar intake.
A Taste Of The Islands
With a wide variety of lemonade flavors on the market today, what makes Calypso’s light lemonade so unique is that they genuinely have a delicious taste that lemonade fans enjoy. The company continues to live up to their reputation of producing lemonades that offer “a taste of the islands.”
