Energy gum a caffeine-rich gum that provides instant energy to alleviate the effects of sleep deprivation and fatigue as well as improve alertness and mental performance.

Caffeine, being the prime ingredient of energy gums, proves effective in sustaining physical vigilance and prevents cardiovascular diseases, cancer, and diabetes. Energy gum is prepared by softening gum bases, followed by the addition of other formulation ingredients. Sugar, aspartame, liquid glucose, sorbitol, mannitol, xylitol, and various flavors are the other ingredients used in the manufacturing to reduce bitterness and improve taste. Energy gums have witnessed an upheaval among fitness conscious individuals who regularly consume sport nutrition and fitness supplements.
The consumption of energy gum lead to instant delivery of energy as well as prolonged effects such as better physical and mental performance during intense workouts, improved concentration, and low fatigue during labor-intensive tasks among others. In addition, in the recent years, the consumption of energy gums has increased while playing sports, studying, and business meetings to mitigate the effects of sleep deprivation and boost up their stamina; thereby, driving the energy gum market. The use of natural ingredients and increase in awareness about the benefits among millennials are expected to present new opportunities for energy gum manufacturers during the forecast period. According to the World Bank, the total labor force of India was pegged at 520.20 million in 2017 as compared to 512.76 million in 2016. Thus, growing labor force in emerging economies, such as India & China, is expected to boost the growth of the energy gum market. As excessive intake of caffeine could cause side effects like anxiety, digestive issues, muscle breakdown, high blood pressure, stomach irritation, nausea, and vomiting, food governing and health agencies such as Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Health Canada, International Food Information Council (IFIC) and others have enacted laws and norms to monitor the use of caffeine as an energy supplement.
