The #sobercurious movement and demand for non-alcoholic alternatives has been largely driven by younger consumers. In 2022, sales of no- and low-alcohol beverages grew by more than 7% in volume across 10 key global markets, surpassing $11 billion in market value. Consumers are on a shift towards wellness and our branding agency has been seeing trends such as Vegan product branding, Gluten and Dairy-Free Brands, Meditation Apps, Smart watches and other health related products. With this trend people are starting to cut back, or cut out alcohol too.
Wellness and self-care is a wave sweeping the country—and brands are not only bringing cool new products, but they’re bringing good package design. Packaging design must tell a story and create an emotional bond between brand and people. In this competitive brandscape, great packaging is a must. Brand strategy for package design is equally important, including a powerful mix of research, experience and brand storytelling.
