According to a recent article, there has been a slowdown in the growth of energy drinks in the US.

However, the soft-drinks makers claim that energy drinks only account for a small percentage of children's daily caffeine intake and that there are already existing regulations in place for energy drinks in Germany. This issue is also being discussed in the UK, where the Labour party has pledged to ban the sale of high-caffeine energy drinks to under-16s. [Extracted from the article]
