Description

Explore the latest innovation globally across the beer and cider markets in 2021.

In Euorpe

Sustainability and low-alcohol. Beer and cider brands have been diversifying their sustainability credentials beyond recyclable packaging to meet consumer expectations. Also, zero-alcohol options continue to make inroads in the European market.

In Asia

Low-alcohol and flavoured beer and cider. Innovation is responding to increased interest in low- and no-alcohol beers as consumers, especially younger adults, look to moderate their alcohol intake. Meanwhile, flavoured options can excite interest via both the retail and online channels and tempt consumers to try something new.

In the Americas

Low-calorie and sustainability. The growing popularity of hard seltzers has forced beer and cider brands to boost their presence in the better-for-you space by launching low-calorie and diet options. Committing to sustainable production values has been another notable trend in recent beer and cider launches.

 

The climate crisis has inspired a surge of sustainably produced beers and ciders, while zero-alcohol and-low calorie offerings are flourishing.
