COMPETITIVE LANDSCAPE
Hell Energy Magyarország extends its lead with Xixo
Hell Energy Magyarország Kft maintained its clear leadership in the Hungarian RTD tea market in 2025 through its Xixo brand, which accounts for more than one-third of sales volumes. Xixo’s strength lies in a combination of strong brand recognition, wide distribution across modern and traditional channels, and a consistently attractive price-value ratio.
Branded RTD teas gain ground as private label comes under pressure
Hell Energy Magyarország Kft was also the most dynamic company in 2025, recording the strongest volume gains among leading players. The ongoing expansion of its branded RTD tea portfolio, especially in zero- and reduced-sugar formats, sharpened competitive pressure on private label ranges.
