As people adopt more sedentary lifestyles and spend long hours at work, they turn to sports and energy drinks to sustain energy levels and overcome fatigue. Besides, sports and energy drinks are widely available in various retail channels, including supermarkets, convenience stores, gyms, and online platforms.
