HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Puget Technologies (OTCBB: PUGE) announced today it has entered the growing energy drink sector through the acquisition of B-29 Energy Inc. B-29 is an emerging leader in the dynamic energy supplement market.
According to a report by Packaged Facts, the dynamic sales growth of energy drinks and shots – 60% between 2008 and 2012 – is expected to continue its momentum in coming years. Total U.S. Sales for the energy drink and shot market was worth more than $12.5 billion in 2012 and is anticipated to grow to $21.5 billion by 2017.
President and CEO of Puget Technologies Ron Leyland said, “Although energy drinks are an extremely competitive product category, the industry is still in its early stages with robust potential for expansion.” He added, “We are confident that with product innovation we will be able to capture a healthy market share within a short time.”
Last week Medill Reports Chicago informed that while soda sales have remained sluggish, Monster Beverage Company, Red Bull and Rockstar volumes jumped 19.1 percent, 17 percent and 8 percent, respectively.
B-29 Energy currently offers two flavors of carbonated beverages and a two-ounce energy shot. All three contain a host of vitamins and minerals along with epimedium, a centuries-old traditional Chinese remedy believed to be a natural aphrodisiac.
