Lucozade Sport expands range with new Zero Sugar launch

Lucozade Sport expands range with new Zero Sugar launch

Leading sport drink brand Lucozade Sport is bringing something brand-new to chillers in March with the launch of Lucozade Sport Zero Sugar.

The launch is a move from the brand into the low-and-no sugar segment, currently growing at 22.3 per cent year-on-year, and a key trend for today’s soft drink consumers. Lucozade Zero, for example, is seeing incredible recent growth of over 58.5 per cent. The low- or no-sugar segment in total accounts for almost 48.3 per cent of total soft drink sales [Nielsen, 52w/e 28.01.23].


Available in Orange & Peach and Raspberry& Passion Fruit flavours, Lucozade Sport Zero Sugar is designed specifically for those taking part in sporting activities. It contains sodium and Vitamin B3 to help reduce tiredness and is available in 500ml bottles and 4x500ml multipack formats.

“As the nation’s favourite sports drink, we are excited to bring a new offering from Lucozade Sport,” commented Tom Bell, Head of Marketing for Lucozade Sport at Suntory Beverage & Food GB&I (SBF GB&I).

“We know that more and more people are living an active lifestyle and hydration is a key need in this moment. This spring we are launching a thirst-quenching zero sugar fitness drink containing sodium and Vitamin B3 that tastes great. We can’t wait for people to try it.”

Containing only 4kcal per serving and zero sugar, Lucozade Sport Zero Sugar is designed to appeal to consumers who don’t currently buy into the Lucozade Sport brand. With 77 per cent of the UK population taking part in regular exercise, Lucozade Sport Zero Sugar meets a consumer need for great tasting, low calorie and zero sugar hydration.

Sport drink shoppers are incredibly loyal, and the sport drink market is in very strong growth, with year-on-year sales up 29.3 per cent. This means that leading brands like Lucozade Sport, which has seen year-on-year growth of 26.2 per cent in the convenience channel, are an incredibly important part of any chiller.

Every single Lucozade bottle and can, including new Lucozade Sport Zero Sugar, is non-HFSS and not subject to any of the new HFSS restrictions, meaning that it can be merchandised anywhere in store.

The launch of Lucozade Sport Zero Sugar will be supported by an ATL campaign from April, as well as PR, digital and social media advertising.

Mr Kipling introduces new Simnel Slices as part of its Easter range

The UK’s number one cake brand , Mr Kipling, is launching new limited-edition Simnel Slices just in time for Easter. Expanding the season beyond the classic chocolate treats, Mr Kipling is bringing a fruity Easter flavour onto shelves, expanding retailers’ seasonal cake ranges this year.

Simnel is the third most popular cake flavour at Easter , growing 7.4 per cent versus 2023. Often found across Easter in larger sharing cakes, the new Mr Kipling slices look to meet the growing demand for this flavour in a smaller convenient format, leveraging Mr Kipling’s number one cake format. Whilst Simnel is highly relevant to the season, there is an untapped opportunity in a smaller slices format. This launch will tap into the demand for seasonally relevant options among shoppers aged 45 and above , with Mr Kipling’s tried and tested credentials. New Simnel slices encapsulate a fluffy and moist sponge with succulent dried fruit, sandwiched with a moist marzipan flavour filling and topped with soft marzipan flavour icing.
