How to Entice Health-Conscious People to your Brand is a topic that is on the minds of many brewery and winery owners in the last few years. We’ve suggested four ways to better tap into health-conscious customers.
Last year Dejabrew had the opportunity to sit down with one of our clients, Rohrbach Brewing Company. The marketing director Brittany Statt explained that one of the biggest trend predictions was the health-conscious impact that is setting the alcohol industry on fire. She predicted it would only grow. Here we are now, looking towards 2021 and we want to give you some additional insight to better help you in the next year around this particular trend.
First, Let’s break down the stats;
Despite our current state of business, it is predicted that globally, the alcoholic beverage market is predicted to grow at a CAGR of 4.09 percent for the next six years. This is great news, amiright?
Another stat:
GlobalData’s Q3 2016 Global Consumer Survey, 46 percent of consumers are influenced by how a product will impact their health when shopping for alcoholic drinks. Shoppers are looking for innovative, indulgent drinking experiences minus the headaches and regret.
It’s 2020 and the trend is still hopping, and it will be through 2027 our sources tell us. As many of you might be aware most of this trend is due to the millennial generation driving it forwards across countries, not just in the USA. Australia for example is also experiencing a high demand for health-driven beverages.
People, in general, are becoming increasingly conscious and aware of what they’re putting into their bodies. There is a trend towards moderation and mindfulness, and what comes with that is a different attitude towards alcohol and its role in our lives.
For example, Just-drinks.com has pointed out that Seltzers like Boston Beer Com’s Truly spiked and sparkling range have led the way in the growing demand for healthier alcohol offerings. For more detailed info, learn more here.
Another big concern is the amount of sugar.
“Sugar reduction is still the biggest concern for soft drink consumers,” said Ross Colbert, Managing Director of Global Beverages at KPMG. “And increasingly, all-natural flavor and sweetener innovation for low/no-calorie products is becoming a game-changer in winning new consumers.”
Finding new ways to be innovative is a key aspect of staying relevant during these trends.
Here are a few ways to start thinking about your brand and the trend. How to Entice Health-Conscious People to your Brand in four different ways.
