SOLO Energy Sees Rapid Rise in Australia’s Competitive Energy Drink Market

One of Australia’s most iconic soft drink, SOLO, has made an impressive entry into the highly competitive $1.3 billion energy drink market, driven by strong consumer uptake of its newly launched SOLO Energy.

Since launching six weeks ago, nearly seven million cans of SOLO Energy have been snapped up, capturing more than five per cent of Australia's highly competitive energy drink market across key channels.

The drink combines hints of SOLO’s lemon flavour with ingredients such as guarana, caffeine. Jarrod Dooley, Asahi Beverages’ Head of Marketing for Non-Alcoholic Brands, says SOLO Energy is flying off shelves.

“SOLO Energy has quickly carved out a significant slice of Australia’s competitive energy drinks market,”

Mr Dooley said. “We’ve leveraged more than 50 years of brand loyalty to offer a product that combines familiarity with innovation. The strong consumer response underlines how effectively SOLO Energy resonates with current market trends and demands.”

The Australian energy drink market is rapidly expanding across supermarkets, petrol stations, and convenience stores. With SOLO Energy, the brand aims to differentiate itself from established competitors – already proving to be a success.

Capitalising on its early market momentum, SOLO Energy will soon introduce new flavours, further diversifying its offering. Recently, Woolworths, Coles and Metcash joined convenience outlets in stocking the popular drink.

To complement its market strategy, SOLO has launched a refreshed advertising campaign updating the iconic ‘SOLO Man’ concept, now featuring contemporary Australian workers such as nurses, gym-goers, and tradies who drink SOLO Energy to ‘Crush Whatever’s Next'.

SOLO Energy is currently available in 250ml and 500ml cans, with both full-sugar (featuring 5% crushed lemon) and zero-sugar options.
