Description

The Global Non-Alcoholic Beer Market was valued at USD 24 billion in 2025 and is estimated to grow at a CAGR of 7.8% to reach USD 50.8 billion by 2035.

Non-alcoholic beer, including alcohol-free (0% ABV), non-alcoholic (0.5% ABV), and low-alcohol (0.5% to 2.5% ABV) varieties, has become a notable segment in the global beverage industry. These beverages cater to health-conscious consumers, designated drivers, and those seeking the authentic taste of beer without alcohol's effects. The market spans multiple beer styles, from lagers and IPAs to wheat beers, stouts, and specialty brews, delivering genuine flavor experiences with minimal or no alcohol. Growth is driven by increasing health awareness, changing lifestyle preferences, and consumer interest in premium, innovative brewing options. Advancements in brewing technology, including vacuum distillation, reverse osmosis, and arrested fermentation, allow producers to improve taste and aroma, enhancing acceptance and reducing historical skepticism around non-alcoholic beers.
