Red bull is an energy drink composed by caffeine, taurine, glucoronolactone, B group vitamins, sucrose and glucose and alpine spring water. Thanks to this unique combination of ingredients, Red Bull vitalizes body and mind. This drink is originally from Australia where it is produced and distributed in over twenty countries including USA, Mexico, New Zealand, South Africa and Eastern and Western Europe.

Hence a clear-cut categorization in age groups and socio-economics groupings is not feasible. Therefore they are aware of the fact that it would not be very useful to restrict the target market to either the geographic areas or the psychographic segmentation of the targeted consumer. The typical Red Bull drinker is dynamic and active; gender does not play a role at all.
The main reason for this is that for a product like Red Bull it would be far to narrow since it is a product that cuts across lifestyles, demographics and socio-economic boundaries. The marketers for Red Bull decided that the best solution would be to just set the target market as a behavioral segmentation.
