The report said that the surge in Australian innovation was largely driven by the development of low or no alcohol content products, catering to changing consumer preferences, particularly amongst younger demographics.

“Particularly with the younger generation, more consumers are becoming “sober-curious”, not necessarily abstaining from alcohol altogether, but preferring drinks with lower alcohol content,” it noted.
