Boston, MA -- (SBWIRE) -- 06/16/2014 -- Sports and energy drinks continued to be dominated by energy drinks in Cameroon in 2013, with sales of sports drinks negligible due to low consumer awareness and lack of availability. Consequently, sales continued to be hampered by a limited consumer base, in part as a result of low advertising activities among the main operators, and also low interest among the target consumer base. However, 2013 witnessed a change in this category as SABC added a new brand, XXL Energy, to the competition following the introduction of Source du Pays' Reaktor brand in 2012.

Competitive Landscape

Domestic players remain quite competitive in the category, although shares are fragmented. Thanks to the success of Source du Pays and other major players, such as SABC, which already enjoyed strong distribution networks, other players entered the category. This underpins the potential of this category for growth.
