The energy drink category segment is witnessing strong high-single-digit to double-digit volume-driven growth, she added.
While this category's growth in the U.S. slowed in 2024, it has rebounded by around 14% growth year to date through August, the analyst stated. This category could continue gaining share of wallet from traditional caffeine categories, she added.
While Celsius had taken market share from Bang Energy (OTC:BXNG), Red Bull, and Monster Beverage Corp (NASDAQ:MNST), "we’re confident that CELH can continue to take share and expand the energy drink category, especially given its recent acquisition of Alani Nu," Herzog further wrote.
