Energy drinks aren't just for young men anymore.

Hansen Natural is expanding the category to women, older men and anyone who could use a boost during the day.

The Corona, Calif.-based company gets about half of its annual sales of $120 million from energy drinks such as its Monster brand products. They've helped to make Hansen a top performer among publicly traded soft drink companies this year.

The traditional market for energy drinks has been 18- to 40-year-old males. But Hansen is rolling out new products geared to a range of age groups, demographics and lifestyles. That includes low-carb versions for dieters and larger cans for younger consumers.

The energy drink category, launched in the U.S. in 1997, is still a "very small niche," but should experience strong growth as it spreads to a broader consumer base, says Rodney Sacks, Hansen's chairman and chief executive officer.

"Ultimately everyone needs energy," Sacks said. "Our lives are more hectic now than they were 10 years ago."
