Market Overview
The global sports drink market is projected to witness a CAGR of 4.45% during the forecast period (2022-2027).
The effects of COVID-19 continue to ripple through the world’s sports ecosystem. This is because, for the majority of 2020, there were high restrictions imposed on any form of sports/outdoor activity. Moreover, several leagues, tournaments, and even Olympic games were postponed eyeing the fretfulness of the situation, which restricted the sports and gaming activities, which certainly showed a negative effect on the sales revenues of sports drinks as well. However, as the situation moves towards the betterment of the situation, and sports activities are continued for professionals and the population as well, the sports drinks market is expected to form a recovery curve during the forecast period.
With the rising health concerns, there is an increased demand for nutrition-filled, low-calorie sports drinks made from natural ingredients, such as stevia and other sugar alternatives. For instance, PepsiCo Inc. launched a zero-sugar variant of Gatorade named ‘G-Zero’ to attract health-conscious consumers. The products are available in flavors such as lemon-Lime, Orange, and Glacier Cherry.
