There seems to be a new one out every week aiming at different but minute places in the market
There is a new trend that has seen the formulation of 350 new businesses in since 2004 that has been named the Anti energy drink market. It is slowly gaining traction and some compaines are exporting to Europe.
Some of the compaines such as Marley, Blue Cow and Mary Jane make up this growing industry.
Many of the new drinks use the same relaxing ingredients shown below
Passionflower: Reduces anxiety
Hops: Promotes relaxation, inhibits adrenaline
Chamomile flower: Reduces anxiety
Valerian root: Promotes relaxation without drowsiness Lemon balm: Enhances mood, alertness and calm
Melatonin: Relaxes muscles
Anyway here is the point.
I think New Zealand would be a perfect place to create a new relaxation drink. Using New Zealands clean green image would give the drink credibility throughout the world. Obviously it would have to be a premium product that isnt aimed at young teenagers wanting the effects of marijuana and not being able to get the real thing!
Look at how Fiji water took off in major markets after celebrities were seen drinking it in reality TV shows. 42 below vodka is another example of a drink using New Zealands clean green image to sell premium quality drinks.
I have been exploring this option and altough it seems like there is a new competitor in the relaxation drink market everyday a New Zealand drink could aim at the premium end of the market,
