Fast-Sellers in 2025: What’s Flying Off Pallets Right Now
Quarterly insights from Northern Retail Group
6/13/20251 min read


Retailers are always on the lookout for products that move quickly and drive repeat purchases — and in 2025, the pace hasn’t slowed. From classic favourites to new category disrupters, here’s a look at what’s flying off our pallets this quarter across confectionery and soft drinks.
Confectionery: Nostalgia with a Modern Twist
Retro favourites continue to dominate. Brands like Cadbury and Mars are seeing strong movement, particularly with variety SKUs and limited-edition flavours. Think Galaxy Salted Caramel and Flake multipacks — dependable brands with wide appeal.
At the same time, smaller impulse formats are rising in popularity as retailers cater to convenience-led customers. Expect to see continued demand in this space leading into Q3.
Soft Drinks: Health-Conscious with a Kick
Energy drinks remain the powerhouse of the drinks category. Sugar-free variants and functional beverages are showing strong momentum, particularly Red Bull Sugarfree and Monster Ultra ranges.
Soft drinks that balance flavour and functionality — such as caffeine-free colas or zero-calorie fruit options — are catching consumer interest.
