Starting with the launch of sign language products, Mr. Sub is growing in business to become a stronger player in the beverage space. This expands the range of energy beverages giants with consumers, causing further beating CPG giants such as Coca -Cola and Unilever.
This week’s sign language debut aims to take a deeper look at the long -term strategy of the Florida company, and the 21 -year -old brand aims to increase the roots on a wide -wide lifestyle product.
Executives see that they are connected with consumers all day, from the culprit of the crew to quench their thirst, to provide mental clarity later, and to provide probiotics.
Kyle Watson, California’s chief marketing officer, said in an interview: “This is a great opportunity to continue to grow in Subccal Lifestyle brand and portfolio. “(Sign language) felt like a strategic movement for us who could not concentrate on the energy category.”
The company decided to enter sign language because it provided the best opportunities to increase the consumption of cucumber among existing users and attract new individuals to the brand.
Watson said that many of the energy drinkers in Celsius enjoyed drinks and flavors, but some want options that do not include caffeine. They often return to other products to fill the void.
Although it does not contain caffeine but contains B -vitamins and electrolyte, Celsius must be used to provide people who can avoid brands due to stimulants while maintaining existing users in the company’s portfolio.
There was a natural synergy between energy drinks and sign language. About half of the energy drinks are looking for a sign language option for consumers to replenish the electrolyte, Watson said. In many cases, people will buy both during the same shopping trip.
The Celsius Hydration line has five flavors: fruit punch, blue raz, strawberry watermelon, Arctic cherry and lemon lime. Each packet has 15 calories and no sugars. Celsius sign language is served as a powder through a portable stick that will help you use it on the go.

Beverage producers thirst for sign language
Sign language segments are growing rapidly, and all -sized beverage companies introduce portable human options to provide more benefits to consumers beyond the thirst. According to Straits Research, Water Enhancers’ global market is expected to be almost $ 27 billion by 2033.
Unilever acquired Liquid IV, an electrolytic injection beverage mix manufacturer, before the trend actually started five years ago, and has grown rapidly since the acquisition.
In September, PEPSICO debuted the Gatorade Hydration Booster, an electrolyte powder for sign language all day, and the SPORTS Drink BodyArmor owned by COCA-COLA entered the category in 2022 and brought it in a powder format a year later. . Australian company Waterdrop sells electrolyte sign language cubes without sugar that can be dissolved in reusable water containers.
Watson said, “There are many players, many amazing competitors in this category and very existing brands. “We don’t think we don’t suggest their hydration (as we have energy). We are actually promoting gradual consumption and gradual consumers of brands, and we want to play in categories and play where. Take us. ”
The big part of the future growth of Celsius depends on making the product drink in more cases.
The company is exploring other categories that can be done, such as helping consumers with mental focus or providing prebiotics or probiotics through better drinks. We are considering bringing Celsius to other drinks that match the existing consumer trend and reflect what brand users are looking for.
Watson said, “We have looked at all of it and we are evaluating the rational area that we actually play. “There are some opportunities in our view of where we are going.”
Founded in 2004, the company has matured with consumers’ interest in providing better functions and functions, which are enhanced trends. Celsius is an energy drink that lacks sugar and calories, which is suitable for these categories, but is equipped with ingredients that claim to provide exercise and energy benefits without conflict. Sales are currently over $ 1.3 billion every year.
However, Subs have recently slowed growth as consumers have reduced spending and competition in key energy drink businesses such as Alani Nu and Red Bull.
Robert Moskow, an analyst at TD Cowen, said in last week’s research note that Celsius had a shelf space, but the product speed decreased by two digits. He pointed out that Sub’s market share dropped to 9.1%compared to 10.9%in May 2024.
Moskow said, “We are seeing that the Energy Drink category becomes more congestor brands that adopt ‘better’ positioning similar to Celsius.
