Alcohol-free and low-strength drinks: understanding their role in reducing alcohol-related harms.

Abstract

This report examines the market for alcohol-free and low-strength beers, ciders, wines and spirits – “NoLo drinks” - in the UK.
\n
\nKey findings:
\n•\tThe market for NoLo drinks in the UK is seeing significant growth.
\n•\tHowever, this growth is from a very low base and must be put into context.
\n•\tAchieving a significant market share for NoLo drinks over the next decade would thus require consistent, strong sales growth.
\n•\tThe relatively small size of the NoLo drinks market thus needs to be taken into account when assessing the current health benefits from the use of such products at a population level.
