Boost Drinks has announced the exciting introduction of 500ml cans to its Energy range launching in Original, Sugar Free Original and Red Berry varieties at just £1.
Leveraging its standing as the third largest brand in Energy Stimulation, Boost expands on its hugely successful 250ml energy range with the new, larger 500ml cans. 500ml is the largest energy drinks size and is worth a huge £745m - enjoying 13% YoY growth, offering even bigger profits for retailers.
The three varieties available in new 500ml cans have been carefully selected, with sales data places them as the best selling in Boost’s 250ml Energy range.
Boost Original Energy is rated 1st for taste among Original competitor products, and Original flavours remain strong in the category with a 28% year on year growth. With flavours representing 32% of Energy Stimulation sales, marking a substantial +28% growth YoY, Red Berry is a guaranteed hit with consumers in the new larger can. Plus, the sugar-free energy drinks category has seen a remarkable +23% YoY increase, and the new 500ml Sugar Free Original can caters for the growing trend in health-conscious consumers, with 1 in 3 now opting for more sugar-free beverages.
Adrian Hipkiss, Commercial Director at Boost Drinks says: “It is a very exciting moment for us to be expanding on our hugely successful 250ml energy range with a new 500ml offering. We’ve identified the trend in consumer demand for larger, on-the-go formats with 500ml showing huge growth in the sector, so to be able to launch our iconic Original flavour, also in Sugar Free, alongside the flavour-favourite Red Berry is not just huge for consumers looking for a bigger can on the go, but also for retailers who can now enjoy XL profits. We’re forever committed to innovation and excellence within the soft drinks category and are excited to see the new cans roll out across wholesale and convenience.”
These new products underscore Boost's continual dedication to offer retailers the opportunity to communicate great value on fixture vs. the major multiples, in line with its Honest Broker approach that underpins Boost’s commitment to being a transparent and collaborative partner to wholesalers and retailers.
