Consumer perspectives on alcohol and non-alcohol alternatives

Glass half-full

The alcohol industry has been on a roller coaster ride over the past few years. Sales were extremely robust in 2020 and 2021, but growth is becoming harder to achieve. Alcohol consumption decreased slightly YoY in 2022, partially driven by recessionary conditions, personal health priorities, and the availability of non-alcoholic (NA) alternatives.

Given the dynamic nature of the alcohol and NA alternative space, DISQO conducted an in-depth survey with over 30k consumers to assess current behaviors and sentiments. Our report reveals many challenges and opportunities for brands looking to stay ahead of the pack. Below are a few insights to preview the larger report.
