Mars Wrigley bolsters classics range with new Galaxy Smooth Mint

Mars Wrigley bolsters classics range with new Galaxy Smooth Mint

Following the refresh of its Galaxy Vegan range, Mars Wrigley is further investing in its block chocolate offering with the launch of its new Galaxy Smooth Mint SKU, the latest flavour in its classic Galaxy range.

Mint has the second highest flavour penetration in the confectionery market, with 61 per cent of shoppers repeatedly purchasing mint-flavoured products. In addition, 52 per cent of chocolate shoppers buy in to mint and spend more on chocolate, demonstrating the strength of the opportunity this new flavour presents.


Set to be supported by a host of in-store POS, from shippers to larger front-of-store displays, responsibly-sourced Galaxy Smooth Mint joins the seven-strong chocolate block line-up from July.

“The arrival of our first-ever Galaxy Smooth Mint bar offers shoppers a new flavour of our much-loved brand,” said Victoria Gell, Galaxy Brand Director. “We know that innovation drives the category, and shoppers often buy large block chocolate formats to enjoy sharing moments together.

“This new flavour allows us to reach new audiences by appealing to mint lovers (that over-index in comparison to milk chocolate), who will then introduce new consumers to the category via sharing.”

Galaxy Smooth Mint is available in retailers now, RRP £1.25 (110g)

Drink Trends 2025: Navigating economic challenges with innovation and flavour

2025 will do doubt be the year the drinks industry truly feels the repercussions of the global and UK economic climate, political turbulence at home and away, and the duty hikes threatened for such a long time coming into play. While inflation has seen a gradual reduction over the last 18 months, the increase in interest rates and the knock-on effect this has on household expenditure will continue to be a theme as we head into 2025. We may see some prosper, but for many, it will be a year of adaptation, change and resilience. However, as an industry, we innovate, shape tastes and trends, strive to deliver world class drinks to the on-trade and retailers, and find ways to drive pockets of growth.

2025 will not be easy, but it will be interesting and there are areas of growth shaping the industry during the year ahead.
