By 2033, the market will see a surge in personalized energy beverages, targeting specific needs such as mental clarity, muscle recovery, and hydration balance. The increasing emphasis on wellness-oriented and functional beverages positions energy drinks as a core category in the global sports nutrition and lifestyle beverage industry.
