Energy drinks vs energy shots
Energy drinks are beverages which generally contain elements such as caffeine, vitamins, carnitine, etc. They are promoted as being able to enhance physical performance and alertness. Energy shots, however, are a special kind of energy drink. Usually, they are sold in 2-oz containers, whereas most energy drinks are sold in larger cans or bottles. Energy shots can be considered concentrated forms of energy drinks as they tend to contain the same number of supplements and caffeine.
Energy shots in the U.S.
In 2021, energy shot generated sales of around 932 million U.S. dollars in the United States. Over the last few years, energy shot sales have shown a downward trend. Energy shot beverages, such as 5-Hour Energy, are often bought in U.S. convenience stores: in 2018, this particular brand generated roughly 648 million U.S. dollars in U.S. c-stores. Red Bull, which is an energy drink, generated over two billion U.S. dollars in American c-stores in the same year.
