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.
