It appeals to various groups, including individuals who abstain from alcohol, designated drivers, athletes, and those who simply prefer a non-alcoholic option. The range of non-alcoholic beer options continues to expand, providing consumers with a diverse selection to suit their preferences. All of these factors have contributed in the growth of the non-alcoholic beer market share.
