Booming market! Non-alcoholic booze showing 315% growth

Booming Market! Non Alcoholic booze showing 315% growth.

Emerging sectors are always of interest to us here at Oasis – they highlight trends and themes which sometimes later become mainstream. Non-alcoholic booze, highlighted in the AFR on 24^th January, interested me recently – near-beers, “clean” wines and zero proof spirits are now becoming a thing, with bottle shops or “dry stores” dedicated to the non-alcoholic sector and pubs now having to cater to this growing demand for a healthy alternate.

Whilst growing by double digits in the US, non-alcoholic booze is still a tiny slice of the overall market.

However, the online trend in the market is booming at 315% growth for non- or low-alcoholic beverages.

Now the price of this health-conscious preference, most often chosen by millennials, is high.

Yes, taking the alcohol out appears to cost a fortune! Nevertheless, it’s got to be a good thing in our ‘alcohol-saturated society’ to see a healthy, tasty and socially acceptable alternative emerging – and if you are a parent like me it’s long overdue!

Why non-alcoholic booze is taking off in a big way

Yes, mocktails are having their moment. Zero alcohol products are now being peddled by both scrappy young beverage companies and legacy booze brands.

Sell, Sell, Sell, The Media Overload

We are often asked at Oasis Partners, when there is market volatility or other geopolitical uncertainties, whether it’s still a good time to sell a business.
