The popular apple-flavoured drink will be available in more retail locations, reflecting its growth and consumer demand.

Purity Soft Drinks has announced a significant expansion of its Juice Burst Apple line, bolstering its presence in major retail chains across the UK. The brand’s popular apple-flavoured drink will be available in additional Sainsbury’s, Tesco, and Morrisons Daily locations, as well as making its debut in Iceland stores starting January 2024.

This growth in distribution comes on the back of an upward trend in the popularity of apple-flavoured beverages. Juice Burst Apple has not only overtaken Orange as Purity’s best-selling variant but has also emerged as the leading apple juice stock-keeping unit (SKU) in the current market. The brand attributes part of this surge to its extensive summer marketing campaign, titled “Punchy To The Core,” which reached over 30 million adults across the UK and achieved an impressive 174 million impressions through a combination of digital platforms and out-of-home advertising strategies.

Juice Burst Apple’s appeal is further enhanced by its health-oriented features. The drink is compliant with the government’s High Fat, Sugar and Salt (HFSS) regulations and is exempt from the Soft Drinks Industry Levy (SDIL). Notably, it contains no added sugar and contributes one of the recommended five portions of fruit and vegetables per day with each bottle. This commitment to healthier product offerings has resonated with consumers, particularly health-conscious individuals emerging from the pandemic. Since 2019, the brand has seen a remarkable growth of 60%, reaching a market value of £80 million.

Sarah Baldwin, CEO of Purity Soft Drinks, expressed optimism for the future of Juice Burst Apple, indicating strong ambitions as the company heads into 2024. According to research commissioned by the company, health considerations have become increasingly influential in consumers’ decisions when selecting soft drinks, ranking as the second most significant factor after taste; 41% of juice drinkers prioritise health credentials while 36% favour products that can contribute significantly to their daily fruit and vegetable intake.

The decision from major retailers to stock Juice Burst Apple in a growing number of stores reflects both market confidence and consumer demand, reinforcing the brand’s position in the competitive beverage landscape.
