DUBAI: THE WORLD CAPITAL OF QUALITY NON-ALCOHOLIC BEVERAGES

At Argos Star, we are always on the lookout for trends that shape the future of the food and beverage industry. One such trend is the rapidly growing market for high-quality non-alcoholic beverages (NA Bevs). Despite representing a modest segment of the overall alcoholic market, NA Bevs are expanding at a 7% annual rate, with projections indicating a significant 4% market share by 2027.
This growth mirrors a global cultural shift—where “sober curious” consumers are alternating between alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. Recent research by NielsenIQ shows that 82% of non-alcoholic drink buyers in the US also purchase alcoholic beverages, driven not only by health or religious considerations but also by a genuine appreciation for taste and quality.
Our exclusive sneak preview at Gulfood 2025 showcased a refined selection of quality NA Bevs, complete with dedicated tastings and elegant pairings with dishes from international Michelin-starred chefs. This event underscored our commitment at Argos Star to innovation and excellence, setting the stage for the groundbreaking 0-100 World Summit in the UAE next June.
