This summer, Red Bull aims to tap into the take-home occasion and drive trial with a brand-new mixed multipack offered in 4 x 250ml (£5.25), and 4 x 250ml PMC (£5.35) exclusive to the impulse channel.
Available from 1st June, the new multipack includes the original Red Bull Energy Drink along with some of the brand’s best performing Editions: The Red Bull Red Edition, The Red Bull Tropical Edition and The Red Bull Blue Edition. With 88% of Red Bull shoppers preferring to buy across a variety of flavours[1], this new pack enables them to do just that.
There are now 143m functional energy occasions at home (+86% since 2019)3 and as a result more consumers are trading up into multipacks[2]. This year Energy drink multipacks saw impressive growth +14% in value sales6 with more than half of take-home energy shoppers purchasing a multipack[3].
As the no.1 brand in the category[4] Red Bull Multipacks account for 42% of multipack growth[5], with Red Bull featuring in 3/5 of the top functional multipacks. This is led by the 4 x 250ml Red Bull Energy Drink Multipack, which sells more than double that of the next Energy Drink Multipack, worth £56m[6].
Additionally, Flavoured Energy Drinks are a key driver to category growth and The Red Bull Editions flavour portfolio is growing fast, +£37m vs 2YA[7], bringing new shoppers to the brand with every launch[8].
With the increased demand for Flavours and the growth of Multipacks, this new 4 x 250ml can variety pack hopes to provide an essential trade-up option for convenience shoppers and drive incremental value to the category.
