The NoLo Movement

The NoLo (no-and-low alcohol) movement is a global sociocultural shift in which consumers, particularly Millennials and Gen Z, are deliberately reducing or eliminating alcohol consumption without giving up social rituals around drinking. Driven by health awareness, sober curiosity, and premiumisation of alcohol-free alternatives, the NoLo segment grew by 31% globally between 2018 and 2022 and is projected to account for over 4% of the total beverage alcohol market by 2027.
