Low-Alcohol Beer Market: Key Drivers, Trends, and Challenges

Based on our research output, there has been a neutral impact on the market growth during and after post COVID-19 era. The increasing health consciousness among consumers is notably driving the low-alcohol beer market growth, although factors such as the availability of counterfeit products may impede the market growth. Our research analysts have studied the historical data and deduced the key market drivers and the COVID-19 pandemic impact on the low-alcohol beer industry. The holistic analysis of the drivers will help in deducing end goals and refining marketing strategies to gain a competitive edge.

Key Low-Alcohol Beer Market Driver

One of the key factors driving the low-alcohol beer market is the increasing health consciousness among consumers. The vendors of low-alcohol beer promote it as a safe and healthy option over conventional alcoholic drinks to attract health-conscious consumers. Nowadays, globally, consumers are getting more health-conscious and prefer healthy and nutritious consumables such as foods and beverages. Conventional alcoholic drinks, such as normal beer with high ABV, have several health-related issues such as anemia, cancer, cardiovascular diseases, depression, high blood pressure, nerve damage, and infectious diseases. Therefore, consumers are shifting from conventional beer to low-alcohol beer, which is a better and healthier way of refreshment and does not have any health-related issues. Furthermore, consumption of low-alcohol beer is becoming one of the sustainable approaches for consumers to cut down their alcohol consumption in the long run. For instance, if consumers switch to low-alcohol beers that contain 0.5%-4% ABV from conventional beers with 5%-14% alcohol by volume, they can reduce their alcohol intake and the risk of long-term health issues. Such factors are expected to drive the growth of the market during the forecast period.

Key Low-Alcohol Beer Market Trend

An increase in demand for gluten-free and low-calorie beer is another factor supporting the low-alcohol beer market growth in the forecast period. The increasing health and diet consciousness among people raised the demand for low-calorie and gluten-free products globally. This, in turn, has consecutively driven the demand for low-alcohol beer with similar parameters. The global gluten-free product market is growing at a steady pace, owing to the rising number of health-conscious people and increasing awareness about celiac disease. The number of people with celiac disease is growing rapidly. For instance, one in every 133 individuals in the US has celiac disease, which is about 1% of the total population in the country. Moreover, it is also estimated that 82% of the American population that is affected by celiac disease is still undiagnosed. The only possible way to reduce the instances of celiac disease is by switching to a gluten-free diet. Furthermore, the rising demand for low-calorie foods and beverages is another emerging trend, especially among women due to their high concern for their appearance, physique, and obesity problems. Moreover, vendors are expected to introduce gluten-free and low-calorie, low-alcohol beer during the forecast period, which will fuel the sales of the overall market during the forecast period.

Key Low-Alcohol Beer Market Challenge

The availability of counterfeit products will be a major challenge for the low-alcohol beer market during the forecast period. The growing market prospects of alcoholic beverages, such as low-alcohol beer, and their surging demand have attracted the attention and market entry of counterfeit product manufacturers, especially in developing regions. The penetration of e-commerce is also facilitating the distribution, sales, and reach of counterfeit products. Furthermore, the relatively low price of counterfeit products is one of the factors that contribute to their demand. Hence, the availability of counterfeit products has an adverse impact on the sales and pricing strategies of vendors operating in the global low-alcohol beer market by diluting their market shares. Besides, the harmful and life-threatening impacts of counterfeit beer damage the reputation of the immitted brand. To overcome these challenges, global vendors are compelled to offer their products at low prices, which reduces their profit margins. It also affects the value sales in the market.
