Soy drinks are more popular with Australians 14+ than energy drinks, sports drinks, iced teas or breakfast drinks, according to Roy Morgan Research.

 

It found that over the 12 months to March 2016, 5.7 per cent of Australians 14+ (or just over 1.1 million people) reported consuming at least one soy drink in any given seven-day period, a little ahead of those who consumed energy drinks (5.6%), sports drinks (5.6%), iced tea (4.7%) and breakfast drinks (4.7%).

 

And while energy- and sports-drink consumption has slipped since 2012, soy beverage consumption is up over the same period, according to the researcher, although the increase has been fractional.

 

ACT residents lead the country for soy drink consumption, with 9.3% drinking it in an average seven days.
