  • Once synonymous with the energy drink industry, Red Bull GmbH and Monster Beverage Corp. are losing market share in an industrywide shift toward health and wellness, where their high-octane, sugared beverages are losing appeal.

The article from Livemint discusses the growing trend of sugar-free energy drinks in India, driven by health-conscious consumers and regulatory pressures.
