Mintel’s Germany Energy Drinks Market Research: An Overview

As people are returning to the office more in 2023, energy drink intake may increase. Meanwhile, the European Championships in 2024 will also help sports drink sales recover.

  • 44% of Germans drink any sports or energy drink/energy shot, rising to 82% among the age group of 16 to 24.

Volume sales in the energy drink category, according to our Germany energy drinks market research, are clearly set to grow. Meanwhile, sports drinks will experience moderate decline. However, exploration of healthier energisers can stimulate long-term growth.

Energy & Sports Drinks Germany: What Consumers Want and Why

  • Consumption of Energy & Sports Drinks Germany: The continued income squeeze and high inflation in the category may see some users shun sports and energy drinks, but for many others they are a necessity to get through the working day. Caffeine‘s functionality makes energy drinks an indispensable crutch for on-the-go workers, while sports drinks have found prominence among 45 to 54-year-olds, with 46% using them for two or more occasions.
  • Challenges in the Energy Drinks Market Germany: Users are beginning to moderate their caffeine intake as part of a broader focus on sleep quality and mental health. 59% of 16 to 24-year-olds are interested in lower-caffeine alternatives, posing a challenge for energy drink brands. Moreover, social stigma still dogs the energy drinks market Germany, as they are perceived to contain too much sugar and non-natural ingredients.

Energy & Sports Drinks Germany Market Forecast

  • With interest in healthier alternatives on the rise, adjacent categories, e.g. tea and fruit juice, provide competition for sports and energy drinks in this regard. Innovation around tea-based and less-sweet flavours may serve to broaden the category’s appeal among existing and new users alike.

    Trusted by global industry leaders

    Mintel is really good for getting a handle on a particular category quickly. If we are working on a new business pitch in an area we don’t have much experience in, it’s a brilliant way to get up to speed with what’s going on, what’s changing and what the key trends are in any category.

    It’s very rare now that anyone will plough through a 200-page report – that’s why the summaries are really useful. We know they are backed up by a lot of detail, so if you need to go into something in more depth you know the information will be all there for you.

    Pauline Robson, Managing Partner, Mediacom

    One of the biggest challenges we face is the need to get smart on a business or category real quick.

    We are talking to clients who live and breathe their category every day and the expectation is that we will be able to get caught up very quickly, and bring the thinking that can help them.

    We need to do that often in a matter of days, so it’s not a small ask. Mintel gives us a very articulate view of category conditions and does so at the speed we need it.

    Jeff White, Business Development Director, Deutsch

    We use Mintel Reports, mostly for financial services and ecommerce markets, plus a few retail and technology ones.

    As a leading payments provider, we value additional insights into consumer behaviour, opinions and trends that are shaping the many different markets we operate in. Mintel is a very good and very quick way for us to obtain those insights.

    We use Mintel to get a view on where a particular market is going, which can support us in product development and help us identify opportunities or indeed risks, it is a very useful barometer of a market’s potential.

     

    Andrew Neeson, Market Intelligence Manager, VocaLink

    There is no question that Mintel is the go-to resource for the best quality market research, but I did not think it was an affordable option for Abacus Marketing to consider. As a small marketing agency, we only work with a few new clients each year.

    However, we have a very high-end consultative approach to our work, so we really do need a partner like Mintel to provide the big agency experience we are always aiming to deliver. Our clients come from an incredibly diverse range of industry sectors, so we obviously need access to market research reports from a very wide spectrum of marketplaces – and that is precisely what we got.

    Stephen Taylor-Brown, Managing Director, Abacus

    Mintel helps us when we want to know something quickly – it provides fast answers to our questions. If we need to get a view of what’s going on in a particular market it’s very useful.

    When carrying out background research, I find Mintel an excellent starting point.

    The fact that it covers so many markets is a big plus for me– instead of having to buy specialist products in each area we are interested in, especially when we only require a brief view on a particular market, we can go to Mintel for help as a one-stop shop. I find Mintel a useful and valuable resource.
