Last year alone, the range attracted two million more buyers and is the fastest growing sub-brand for new buyers, with 1 in 10 Red Bull shoppers only buying Editions.

To date this has been led by the introduction of an annual limited Red Bull Summer Edition, with the portfolio now boasting six flavours, delivering 92 per cent incremental value growth.
