Price hikes in the beer market are giving an opportunity to rivals of Guinness, as Diageo, the parent company of the iconic stout, pushes its new zero-alcohol beer.
With rising prices making some consumers more price-sensitive, competitors see this as a chance to attract drinkers who might be looking for more affordable options or who prefer non-alcoholic alternatives.
In response, Diageo is focusing on expanding its zero-alcohol beer offerings to cater to a growing demand for healthier drinking choices. By emphasizing its alcohol-free brews, Diageo aims to tap into the health-conscious trend without sacrificing flavor.
This shift comes at a time when the beer market is evolving, with more people opting for non-alcoholic and lower-priced options. Diageo’s move is seen as part of a broader strategy to adapt to changing consumer preferences and competition.
