Here ’s some news to register under “ dystopian future ” : vitality deglutition sales are skyrocketing so quickly that analysts are predict it could replace chocolate as America ’s preferred caffeine - pitch system . But there may yet be some light at the ending of the caffeine - tunnel .
Roberto Ferdmanover at Quartzput together this pair of care - bring on graphical record using data from Euromonitor ( the same folk music whosounded the alarmon mayo becoming America ’s favorite condiment ) .

The first graph ( top ) shows the vast capitulum in sales growth of push drinks and the second ( bottom ) picture how they seem to be on track to catch up to — perhaps even surpass — coffee , where Quartz notes : “ It ’s not inordinate to expect the two to eventually overlap . Over the next five years , vitality drink cut-rate sale are slated to continue growing at about twice the rate of coffee tree sales , according to Euromonitor . ”
It ’s alarming news for coffee fans . But , as absolutely confusing as the mind of someone trying a first Red Bull and then cash in one’s chips on at some point to in reality drink a moment might seem , I ’m still feeling pretty ruddy about the whole thing .
Why ?
Because , I suspect that the lunch that the Energy Department drinks are eat actually belong to tonic , not coffee . debate that , while energy drinking may be quiver out coffee tree in term of bluff growth , umber consumption has n’t stopped growing at all .
Meanwhile soda consumption just hit its 26 - year first ( this concord todata from Beverage Digest , which is both , apparently , a real matter and also a delicious increase to my “ wordplay out in the world ” ingathering ) .
In fact , soda water consumption has been on a steady decline since 2005 , not coincidentally right around the clip vitality drinks began their meteoric salary increase . Does this mean the market for energy crapulence and coffee wo n’t overlap at all ? scarcely . But my bet is that the larger bit will be taken out of soda ’s share , not coffee ’s .
