Specialty Energy Bars and Gels and Shelf-Stable Functional Beverages experienced far more growth than their non-specialty counterparts. Perhaps not coincidentally, these two product segments share the same core consumer—those keenly interested in health, wellness and athletic performance. Of the 51 categories shown (excluding Other categories), 44 grew more (or declined less) in specialty than in mass market.
