The UK’s beverage landscape is evolving, and fast. A recent YouGov survey, published by The Grocer, has revealed a significant surge in demand for low & no-alcohol alternatives, with 38% of UK drinkers now consuming these products on a semi-regular basis. This shift, particularly among younger demographics, is reshaping how consumers think about their drink choices.
At TeaJoy, we see this as an exciting opportunity for retailers, distributors, and investors looking to cater to this growing demand for sophisticated, non-alcoholic drinks. Bubble tea isn’t just a trend; it’s a lifestyle choice that perfectly aligns with the shift towards mindful drinking and flavour-forward experiences.
Health, Lifestyle & The New Consumer Mindset
Why are consumers making the switch? The study points to health as a leading factor, with 29% of respondents citing health concerns as a key reason for choosing low & no-alcohol options. Younger consumers, in particular, are driving this movement, with 46% of 25 to 34-year-olds and 40% of 18 to 24-year-olds embracing alcohol alternatives.
At TeaJoy, we understand that today’s consumers don’t just want to drink less alcohol; they want something exciting in its place. That’s where bubble tea comes in. Our fruit-infused teas, creamy milk blends, and boba-filled delights offer an engaging, customisable alternative that provides all the fun of a cocktail—without the alcohol.
