Tenzing Expands into Functional Energy-Drinks to Strengthen Position in the UK Market
Tenzing is expanding its product line with functional energy-drinks as it seeks to differentiate itself in a competitive market. The London-based company recently launched Natural Energy+, which includes ingredients like Lion's Mane and L-theanine, aiming to offer additional health benefits beyond traditional energy drinks. According to Tenzing co-founder Huib van Bockel, the brand has achieved strong sales performance, outperforming Red Bull in some key retail channels. He noted that while brands such as Relentless have significant backing from Coca-Cola, Tenzing is now considered a top-three player by value rate of sales in the UK energy-drinks market. Van Bockel also highlighted support from investor Heineken and emphasized continued focus on scaling within the UK despite some international presence. The energy drinks sector has grown rapidly to become the largest segment in soft drinks, valued at £3 billion.
