The consumption of low or soft drinks is on the rise

More and more global consumers are choosing to stay away alcohol consumption. This trend can be seen in the commercial activity of international beer companies, such as Kirin, which plans to sell 209.5 million cases of soft drinks in 2022, which represents an increase of 2% compared to the previous year.

While this trend occurs across all age groups, it’s most noticeable among Gen Z consumers, among whom up to a third of consumers aged 18 to 25 say they don’t drink alcohol at all, according to a recent report from Innova Market Insights.

According to Vicky Berry, who is the senior manager of European business development at Synergy Flavors, today’s consumers are more demanding when it comes to taste and are not ready to compromise. Therefore, both startups and big players in the industry are working hard to create non-alcoholic beers that meet these expectations.
