The popularity of non-alcoholic beverages has risen notably among younger consumers, especially the Gen Z demographic. This group tends to view drinking differently than previous generations, showing less interest in alcohol consumption.
This health-focused mindset has led to a growing demand for non-alcoholic options, allowing people to prioritize their health while not completely forsaking alcoholic beverages. The consumer base for no/low-alcohol beverages is maturing, with Gen Z being the largest age group.
According to BMC Medicine, in 2020, South Africa's total sales of alcohol-free beverages reached 1.34 million cases, with beer constituting the largest share. COVID-19- induced alcohol sales restrictions and a growing awareness of alcohol-free drinks partly influenced this trend.
