Safety Shot Inc. Plans Acquisition, Seeks Retail Growth

Functional and wellness-focused beverages are rapidly gaining popularity, with analysts predicting strong growth in both the functional drinks and dietary supplements markets over the next decade. Companies are innovating with new products that offer health benefits beyond hydration, such as energy-boosting, metabolism support, and even reducing blood alcohol content, as seen with Safety Shot, Inc.'s Sure Shot®. Nostalgia is also driving new offerings, exemplified by AN SUPPS and TANG's collaboration on sugar-free, performance-enhancing drinks in classic flavors. Meanwhile, energy drinks like CELSIUS are carving out a niche by combining natural ingredients for metabolism and hunger control, and offering a wide variety of flavors to attract consumers. This trend is further fueled by the convenience of online purchasing and the appeal of beverages that are both functional and enjoyable, meeting the evolving preferences of health-conscious adults.
