- The Middle East has witnessed a consistent uptick in the demand for energy drinks in recent years. In 2023, the region experienced a notable 9.41% growth in value compared to 2021.

The growing emphasis on health and fitness has led to energy drinks becoming a staple for individuals engaged in sports and fitness activities.
- Saudi Arabia is poised to be the frontrunner, with a projected volume CAGR of 5.58% from 2024 to 2030.
