No & Low Alcohol: Raise a Glass to Mindful Drinking.

The no & low alcohol space is booming, and it is no longer just about 'what's missing'. Consumers want drinks with depth, complexity, and a story that is worth sharing.

No and Low Alc Market Trends:
What’s Driving Growth?

Rapid Growth

No/low-alc is growing at close to double-digit rates worldwide.

The Drivers

Growth is fuelled by the sober-curious movement, moderation, and inclusivity trends.

High Standards

Consumers are demanding options that taste as good as - or better than - the original.

What No & Low Alcohol Consumers Want.

Flavour & Experience: Layers, body, and complexity - not just "flavoured water."

Better-for-You Choices: Clean labels, natural ingredients, and functional benefits.

Occasion-Ready: Products that feel premium and social, not like a "second best" option.

Where Brands Can Win in No & Low Alcohol.

Winning in this space requires moving beyond simple dealcoholisation to create beverages with genuine character.

  • Use fermentation to bring body, acidity, and flavour notes that authentically mimic alcohol.

  • Layer in gut health, immunity, or natural energy to help your product stand out on the shelf.

  • Position your no/low-alc offering as a better choice, not a compromise, by prioritising superior ingredients and mouthfeel.
