This new report from just-drinks provides a valuable insight into a sector
that has attracted huge investment and interest so far in the 21st century.
The rate of new product development (NPD) in the energy and sports drinks
sector has risen rapidly in recent years. Consumer awareness of nutrition has
developed and resulted in a raft of new products, driving value and volume
sales of functional soft drinks (FSDs).

market, this report meets its objective of identifying and quantifying future
profit opportunities in the market to 2012. The report considers trends in the
energy and sports drinks sectors in 2007, and considers emerging and potential
NPD strategies for the next five years.
