Monster unveils biggest launch in 20 years with zero sugar Monster Original

Monster unveils biggest launch in 20 years with zero sugar Monster Original

Coca-Cola Europacific Partners (CCEP) is offering Monster OG fans a zero sugar variant of the brand’s popular Original variant: Monster Zero Sugar.

Monster Zero Sugar offers the same iconic and full-flavoured taste of Monster Original but with no calories and no sugar – capitalising on the continued demand for traditional energy drinks, which command a 55 per cent share of the energy drinks category, and the growing popularity of zero sugar options.


Rolling out nationwide from 4 September, the new variant builds on the success of Monster Original and Monster Absolutely Zero resulting in a three-strong traditional energy line up.

The can design pays homage to the iconic Monster Original, with the same look and feel to deliver maximum engagement with core Monster fans to help drive sales.

Monster Zero Sugar follows on from three launches in 2023 so far; Monster Lewis Hamilton Zero Sugar, Monster Juiced Aussie Lemonade, and red berry blend flavour Monster Ultra Rosa. More than 55 per cent of category innovation sales over the last year have come from Monster’s great tasting NPD.

As well as giving shoppers even more choice, the launch is designed to fuel further momentum behind the brand, which is now worth £545m – adding £92m of sales over the last year alone whilst maintaining 20 per cent volume growth. This makes Monster GB’s fastest growing major energy brand..

Energy drinks remain the no.1 deliverer of value growth in soft drinks, worth more than £1.8bn to retailers and growing in both volume and value in GB.

Monster Zero Sugar will be available in 500ml packs – singles and four can multipacks.

“Monster Original has been a firm favourite and standout sales driver for retailers since it first launched over 20 years ago,” said Pippa Collins, Associate Director Commercial Development.

“With continued consumer desire for zero sugar energy drinks and the strong performance of our Ultra range as the no.1 zero sugar energy range in GB, we wanted to create a zero sugar energy drink that matches the iconic taste of Monster Original.

“Monster Zero Sugar has already proven to be incredibly popular in the US, so we’re confident its arrival in GB will bring excitement to the energy fixture and help retailers drive further sales.”
