The programme aims to build the confidence of wounded and disabled veterans by enabling them to take part in motorsports.
“We wanted to create a brand with a trusted flavour profile and energy output, but with a personality that was distanced from the abrupt and abrasive imagery championed by today’s incumbent offerings,” said the brand’s co-founder Marion Barnaby.
In the UK, demand for energy drinks is on the rise, according to figures from GlobalData. In 2021, the category’s sales were worth US$3.01bn and are set to reach US$4.06bn by 2027. The segment is predicted to have a ten-year compound annual growth rate of 5.12%.
GlobalData senior beverage analyst Chloe Gbadero said the launch of Energy One tapped into a wider trend of energy drinks aimed at a health-conscious consumer. “Since emerging from the pandemic, consumers are looking for ways to increase energy levels and decrease mental fatigue; thus driving the demand for new and innovative energy drinks,” she said.
