Health

keeps driving drinks

In 2025, health and wellness continue to influence the biggest shifts in beverage innovation.

By Australian Beverages Council CEO Geoff Parker.

The non-alcoholic beverages industry is evolving rapidly, responding to an everdiscerning consumer who expects more from every sip – more functionality, better-for-you benefits, and products that suit their lifestyle.

Low/no sugar demand grows

Australians are increasingly choosing drinks that align with their health goals, particularly low- and no-sugar options. Beverage manufacturers are responding with greater variety and innovation, continuing to reformulate existing products and launch new ranges.

This innovation is backed by rigorous science and underpinned by reformulation efforts that align with both public health guidance and voluntary industry targets. Non-sugar sweeteners continue to play a critical role in giving consumers healthier options that don’t compromise on taste – and Australia’s food regulation system remains one of the most robust in the world when it comes to assessing the safety of ingredients used in the food supply.

Juice

retains healthy diet role

As more people understand its nutritional benefits, 100 per cent juice continues to be appreciated among consumers. Scientific reviews have shown that moderate consumption of juice contributes valuable nutrients. It can play a positive role in diet without adversely impacting weight. New juice blends featuring vegetables or including additional vitamins and minerals are further cementing juice’s place in a balanced diet.

Hydration innovation

Hydration remains a core pillar

of consumption for the health conscious, with bottled water and water-based beverages continuing their strong growth trajectory in 2025. Consumers are increasingly seeking hydration solutions that deliver more, in function, flavour and format.

Enhanced waters fortified with vitamins, electrolytes or immunesupporting ingredients are gaining traction as Australians look for wellness drinks without added sugar or kilojoules. These products resonate particularly with Millennials and Gen Z, who are highly attuned to the health impact of their choices.

Consumers are also embracing hybrid and flavoured options that offer novelty without compromising health, including botanical-infused sparkling waters and functional blends with subtle, natural tastes. Affordability and ease remain key, with ready-to-drink formats and multi-packs supporting busy, on-the-go lifestyles.

Performance with purpose

In 2025, energy and sports drinks continue to be two of the fastestgrowing segments in the industry, as more Australians look for functional benefits that support active lifestyles, mental focus and physical performance. Today’s energy drinks are no longer just about a caffeine hit. Many are now formulated with added vitamins, natural caffeine sources and adaptogens – supporting mental alertness and sustained energy while aligning with broader wellness goals.

Sports drinks are also on the rise, with consumers seeking hydration and electrolyte replenishment after exercise. Innovations include lowersugar options, natural flavours and

blends tailored to different activity levels – from casual workouts to endurance training.

Outlook: resilience and reinvention

As consumers continue to prioritise health and wellness in their daily choices, the non-alcoholic beverages industry remains resilient and dynamic –committed to meeting the expectations of consumers, governments and the wider community. Through health-led innovation, the industry is continuing to reinvent itself and deliver products that suit the way Australians live, work and play in 2025.

About Geoff Parker Geoff has more than 20 years’ experience in senior management roles and positions within the boardrooms of a broad range of organisations.

Since being appointed CEO of the Australian Beverages Council in 2009, he has successfully overseen two mergers of separate water and juice associations into the Council’s structure, significantly raising the profile of the organisation with key stakeholders and quintupling its turnover.

Bundaberg unveils LOW-SUGAR RANGE

The brewer of the well-known Bundaberg Ginger Beer has introduced a new offering with less sugar.

Bundaberg Brewed Drinks, which has been producing craft soft drinks since 1968, has unveiled its Refreshingly Light range with three flavours that contain only 20 calories per can.

The company says it is staying true to its four generations of family brewing and the guiding motto, ‘If it’s worth brewing, it’s worth brewing well’, in crafting a low-sugar treat that doesn’t compromise on flavour.

The Refreshingly Light range features 250ml slimline cans and dual-colour packaging that represents the “unique” fruit pairings.

Bundaberg lists and describes the three fruit flavour duos here:

• Brewed Raspberry + Pomegranate.

“This is a uniquely sweet and tart

taste experience that features tangy raspberry brewed over two days, paired with the sophisticated flavour of pomegranate.”

• Brewed Lemon + Watermelon.

“Zesty, cooling and refreshing, this light refreshment is the result of brewing lemons over two days for that unique Bundaberg taste before elevating with juicy watermelon.”

• Brewed Apple + Lychee.

“This delicious drink perfectly balances apple juice brewed over two days with aromatic lychee juice.”

Bundaberg Brewed Drinks CEO John McLean says the Refreshingly Light range is the latest innovation for a proud Australian business that “punches above our weight”.

“Countless people have grown up enjoying our iconic brews such as Bundaberg Ginger Beer, and our latest

range will provide them with a delicious treat that is light on sugar and full on flavour,” he said.

“For more than 50 years, we’ve combined real ingredients, time-honoured recipes and unique craft brewing processes, and Refreshingly Light continues that tradition with a brew that extracts maximum flavour while offering minimal calories and no artificial sweeteners, colours or flavours.”

DILMAH ICED TEA

'Tastes better, does better'

Discover the “exceptional taste” of “all natural” Dilmah Iced Tea, crafted with “real” single origin Ceylon tea leaves from the brand’s own tea estates in Sri Lanka.

According to Dilmah, its premium iced tea boasts twice the tea content of regular iced tea and is “brewed to perfection –never made from artificial concentrate”.

“We use only the finest real tea leaves of our garden-fresh single-origin Ceylon tea, ensuring that each sip delivers an authentic and rich flavour experience unmatched by iced tea in the market,” the brand said.

“Dilmah Iced Tea stands out not just for its natural superior taste but also for its health-conscious recipe. With no artificial sweeteners, our iced teas contain only four per cent real sugar making them a guilt-free choice for those mindful of their sugar intake.”

Dilmah adds that it believes in “making the world a better tea”, with “every sip” contributing to a “better world” – 15 per cent of the brand’s profits support charities in Australia such as the Cancer Council, Salvos. and The MJF Foundation in Sri Lanka.

Dilmah Iced Tea comes in the flavours of Blood Orange, Lemon and Peach.

“This summer, choose Dilmah Iced Tea for great-tasting, single-origin tea that tastes better and does better,” the brand said.

About Dilmah

Dilmah is described as a “genuinely ethical”, producer-grown tea company. Legendary teamaker, the late Merrill J. Fernando founded Dilmah in 1985 with a mission to ‘make the world a better tea’.

As a world-famous Sri Lankan brand enjoyed in over 100 countries, Dilmah has a variety of speciality teas, infusions and extracts from wellness to luxury collections.

Since 1985, Australians have been “sipping a better tea” by selecting Dilmah.

“However, little did they know that they have also unconsciously been making stand for kindness,” the brand said.

“By choosing Dilmah every day, they have been pouring a better tea which supports kindness initiatives in Australia, Sri Lanka and other parts of the world.”

15 YEARS OF ‘NATURAL’ HYDRATION H2COCO:

While wellness trends come and go, H2coco has stayed the course. For over 15 years, the Australian brand says it has built its reputation on something simple: 100 per cent natural coconut water with no artificial colours or preservatives.

The core range

H2coco’s foundation remains its Pure Coconut Water, available in 500ml, 1lt, and 2lt sizes. The product is promoted as being clean, refreshing, and “packed” with natural electrolytes, “perfect whether you’re recovering from a workout or just need to rehydrate during a busy day”.

Flavour innovation

The brand hasn’t just stuck with the classics. H2coco’s Lychee Coconut Water has become a fan favourite, offering a “delicate, aromatic sweetness that makes you think of tropical getaways”.

“It’s exotic enough to feel special, but light enough for everyday drinking,” H2coco said.

According to the brand, its newest launches show H2coco’s willingness to push boundaries.

“Chocolate Coconut Water might sound unusual, but it works –smooth, creamy, and dairy-free. It’s become the go-to 3pm pickme-up. You get the indulgence of chocolate with the natural electrolytes of coconut water, minus the guilt,” H2coco said.

“Then there’s Mango Coconut Water, which brings that sunny, juicy mango flavour that perfectly complements coconut’s natural lightness. It’s vibrant, energising, and appeals to anyone

looking for something more exciting than plain water.”

What makes it work

H2coco says every flavour delivers on its core promise: never from concentrate, vegan-friendly, and designed to fit into real life.

“Whether you’re plant-based, healthconscious, or just want something that tastes good, there’s an option that works,” the brand said.

Expanding beyond coconut water

H2coco has previously expanded into the long-life juice category with its H2juice brand, and it’s now diving into chilled juice as well.

The brand says this is a natural progression that shows it’s serious

about becoming a complete hydration and nutrition company.

Market presence

H2coco can be found across Australia at Coles, Woolworths, Ampol, 7-Eleven, EG Group, and online.

The brand says it has built a loyal following of people who appreciate that they can get both flavour and function in one bottle.

“With Lychee, Chocolate, and Mango joining the Pure range, H2coco is proving that natural hydration doesn't have to be boring,” it said. “We’re not just keeping up with modern lifestyles – we’re making them a little more enjoyable, one sip at a time.”

Choosing the right

COLLABORATION

In Australia alone, Wimmers Soft Drinks has seen a marked increase in the presence of ‘fad brands’. These products or brands, says Head of Sales Simon Rathbone, may “at best” have a three to five or in some “exceptional circumstances”, a 10-year product or brand life cycle.

“A classic example is Prime, a disruptive product and brand that is on the wane in Australia now, along with Liquid Death,” he said.

With the various contract canning and bottling facilities available, Mr Rathbone believes the development and launching of a new product or brand today is “far easier” than in years past.

“But do these products/brands have longevity or are they just appealing to the trends of the day and marketing to a small segment of the overall market?” he asked. “Would they last, say 115 years, like brands such as Wimmers Premium Soft Drinks?”

Mr Rathbone says that one of the most powerful ways to reach new customers and to continue reminding existing customers is through a “well thought out and implemented collaboration”, one where the synergies align and both businesses have similar values and a similar outlook.

“In our latest collaboration, we worked closely with [car care product brand Bowden’s Own], another 100 per cent Australian made and owned private business that was local to ourselves and where we aligned on many fronts,” Mr Rathbone said.

“For us, it offered an opportunity to reach into a market and have exposure to potential new customers. It also gave those customers a chance to sample our products along with their favourite products/brand.”

“It is a 100 per cent Australian product offering made with as many Australian ingredients as possible, and consumers are supporting privately owned Australian businesses.”

The collaboration even saw the NPD team at Bowden’s Own create a limited-edition cleaning product called ‘Creaming Snowda’ that was the same

colour and smell as Wimmers’ Classic Creaming Soda.

Launched around Father’s Day, the collaboration was sold exclusively via Repco, supported by a strong social media campaign.

“Best of all, it is a 100 per cent Australian product offering made with as many Australian ingredients as possible, and consumers are supporting privately owned Australian businesses,” Mr Rathbone said.

RED BULL

The Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach arrives in Australia this month.

The energy drinks brand says it’s greeting the return of the warmer seasons across the country this year with the new release.

The limited-edition Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach 250ml can will hit shelves at 7-Eleven this month, before rolling out nationally in October.

“Cracking open an icy cold can of the new Red Bull Summer Edition reveals a mouthwatering burst of white peach flavour, with a touch of citrus peel and floral notes – luscious and delightfully aromatic,” Red Bull said.

“It’s the perfect pick for anyone craving something fruity and refreshing to complement the warmer months. Summer is all about fun-filled days and unforgettable nights – a time to relax, explore, and make the most of every moment. Whether you’re soaking up the sun by the pool, heading out on a spontaneous road trip or hitting the beach, Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach delivers the flavour and energy you need to supercharge your summer adventures.”

Red Bull Editions are sold alongside the original line of Red Bull Energy Drinks. Editions combine the “wings” of Red Bull Energy Drink with different tastes, offering a “refreshing option for every palate and occasion”.

Like the original Red Bull Energy Drink, the Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach contains “high-quality” ingredients including caffeine, B-group vitamins, taurine, sugars and water.

In Australia, the Red Bull Editions line also includes The Red Edition, The Tropical Edition, The Blue Edition and The Berry Edition. The Red Bull Summer Edition White Peach will be available in a “sleek” 250ml and 473ml magenta can.

Red Bull Energy Drink is available in more than 170 countries worldwide, with more than 11 billion cans sold in 2022. Each 250ml can contains 80mg of caffeine, around the same as a home-brewed cup of coffee.

AVAILABLE NATIONALLY FROM OCTOBER.

UP&GO

Liquid breakfast brand UP&GO has introduced a caramel flavour to its Protein Energize range.

The established UP&GO Protein Energize range is designed to meet the needs of modern consumers, with the offering promoted as the “ultimate protein-packed fuel” for busy mornings, workouts, or any time in need of an energy boost on the go.

UP&GO says each 500ml serve delivers 35g of protein, which is claimed to be one of the highest proportions in the product’s category, as well as fibre, low-GI energy – with a glycaemic index ranging from 27 to 36 – and a five-star Health Star Rating. It’s also said to be high in calcium and provide 11 essential vitamins and minerals “helping consumers tick off nutrient goals”.

“The benefits of protein are now widely recognised by consumers,” UP&GO said. “As Australians increasingly prioritise health, fitness and functional nutrition, demand continues to grow for convenient, nutritious options to support busy lifestyles.

“Ready-to-drink protein beverages are gaining significant traction, offering a simple, on-the-go solution for those who don’t want to compromise on health or flavour.”

New flavour

To expand the core range and meet consumer appetite for variety, UP&GO is launching UP&GO Protein Energize Caramel 500ml into convenience outlets across the country. This new flavour is described as a “bold addition” to the portfolio, combining a “smooth and creamy” caramel taste with the functional benefits the range is known for.

According to UP&GO, the innovation responds directly to evolving consumer preferences, particularly among Gen Z and Gen Y audiences who are driving demand for more exciting, flavour-forward RTD protein options.

“These consumers aren’t just looking for nutrition – they’re also seeking taste, variety, and a beverage experience that align with their fast-paced lives,” the brand said. “Whether it’s on the way to work, post-gym, or in-between

commitments, UP&GO Protein Energize Caramel is a deliciously convenient way to recharge.”

To ensure a successful launch in-store, the release of UP&GO Protein Energize Caramel 500ml is supported by a robust suite of POS materials. These include “bold” fridge decals, “eye-catching” shelf wobblers, posters and beverage towers to capture attention and encourage trial at key decision-making moments.

Campaigning on camaraderie

Beyond the store, the launch is supported by UP&GO’s latest Protein Energize campaign, designed to connect with consumers through a “bold, energetic” creative platform. Centred around the power of camaraderie in group fitness, the campaign celebrates the collective energy, motivation and support found in shared workouts, “reflecting how UP&GO Protein Energize helps fuel these moments to ‘get up and go’”.

“The campaign will roll out across TV, digital, social, and outdoor channels, targeting active, socially engaged consumers,” UP&GO said. “Dynamic video content and complimentary creative assets will amplify the brand’s active personality while reinforcing the range’s functional benefits. The campaign’s messaging is dynamic, fun, and energetic, mirroring the lifestyles of its target audience and highlighting

how UP&GO Protein Energize fuels movement, mateship, and momentum.”

UP&GO Protein Energize Caramel 500ml is promoted as offering consumers a “compelling combination” of nutrition, taste, and convenience, and offering retailers strong sales opportunities.

“Backed by a comprehensive launch plan, including strong in-store visibility and supported by a culturally relevant communications campaign, it’s set to energise the RTD protein category and power up active moments across Australia,” the brand said.

The art of efficient REFRIGERATED SHELVING

In a busy convenience store or supermarket, cold items move fast, leaving shelves depleted and messy.

“With rising pressure on labour supply and wage costs, you need a shelving solution that does the heavy lifting for you,” Flowsell said.

“Whether you’re setting up a new cool room or optimising your current set up, there are some important considerations – and some shortcuts to getting a costeffective result.”

Ensure longevity

The cool room requires shelving products that can withstand an extreme environment. Flowsell says its cool room racks have rust-proof coatings to ensure longevity and low maintenance, with zinc plated racks and black epoxy coating to withstand freezing temperatures and moisture.

Maintain presentation

Keeping tall or heavy bottles tidy can be difficult.

“Roller slide shelving is an excellent solution, providing the convenience of gravity-fed storage on a platform of rollers that gently shifts products to the front, while keeping items tidy,” Flowsell said.

“Flowsell Roller Slide Mats are designed with rigid wire dividers that keep products in their place and fit standard 750mm wide shelving, for cool rooms with standard sized doors, or can be used as part of a complete solution with new Flowsell racking systems.

Non-standard shelving? Flowsell Retrofit Bottle Slides can be cut to size to fit any size or shape wire shelf.”

Minimise labour

costs

“Having rear access to your cold shelving is critical to reducing labour costs, meaning staff can refill quickly, fewer times a day, without getting in the

way of customers,” Flowsell said. “In a smaller store, the right shelving can be the difference between needing an additional staff member – or not. And because you refill from the back, old stock is sold first, minimising wastage.”

Retrofit or new system

Flowsell says setting your cool room storage up to work better for your business doesn’t have to mean starting from scratch.

“It can be very cost-effective to retrofit your existing shelving using the quality range of shelving options from Flowsell, and [we] offer free consultations to help you work out what you need for your existing set up,” the company said.

“If you’re starting from scratch, the Flowsell team can also provide a complete design.”

Know what’s hot in cold storage

Flowsell has a complete range of cool room and refrigerated shelving solutions to suit the specialised needs of supermarkets, convenience stores and liquor stores. Its range includes:

“With rising pressure on labour supply and wage costs, you need a shelving solution that does the heavy lifting for you.”

• Flowsell Roller Slide Mats that allow you to convert existing 750mm shelving racks into an advanced gravity-fed product display, with rigid wire dividers designed to keep items secure.

• Retrofit Bottle Slides that can be customised to fit any size of shelving in your existing fridge, freezer or cool room.

• Flowsell Roller Slide Racks and Bottle Slide Racks – complete gravity-fed zinc-plated and black powder-coated racks for cool rooms.

• Durable flat wire racks and shelving for frozen products in your cool room or freezer.

• All components of the drink racking including gravity shelving, flat shelves, cable ties, gravity slides and more.

Flowsell says it can organise expert installation of your shelving system nationwide or supply the shelving system flat-packed for you to set up yourself.

“Customers can supply their own planogram and Flowsell will set the dividers to match the space required for each product,” the company added.

Re-engineering with

ZUMMO

If you’re a cafe or hospitality operator eyeing an exit in the next few years, now is the time to re-engineer your business for sale, says Zummo Australia. And one of the smartest moves you can make, it adds, is installing a Zummo Z14.

The Z14 isn’t just a juicing machine, according to Zummo Australia Managing Director Marcelle Horn, who says it’s also a “profit machine”.

“With cafe margins tighter than ever, introducing a fresh juice program powered by the Z14 can deliver at a minimum, an additional $10,000 to $20,000 in annual profit,” she said.

“Fresh

juice sales typically generate a 70 per cent gross profit, with the machine often paying for itself in less than six months.”

“Fresh juice sales typically generate a 70 per cent gross profit, with the machine often paying for itself in less than six months.

“But here’s where it gets strategic: when it comes time to sell, buyers don’t just look at turnover – they look

at profitability. Thanks to standard valuation multiples, that extra profit in juice sales can mean a $30k to $40k boost to your sale price. That’s a major return on a modest investment.”

Ms Horn says re-engineering your business means fine-tuning it to be leaner, more profitable, and turnkey for a future buyer.

“The Zummo Z14 fits seamlessly into that plan, adding value, visual appeal and a point of difference to your cafe or juice bar offering,” she said.

“Get your business ready for the finish line. The Zummo Z14 is your shortcut to a smarter, more profitable sale.”
