United Arab Emirates (UAE) Non-alcoholic Drink Market Synopsis

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) non-alcoholic drink market has experienced significant growth in recent years and is expected to continue this trend from 2025 to 2031. Non-alcoholic beverages are gaining popularity due to changing consumer preferences towards healthier lifestyles and the increasing awareness of the harmful effects of excessive alcohol consumption. This market segment includes a wide range of products such as soft drinks, juices, bottled water, energy drinks, and ready-to-drink (RTD) teas and coffees.

Drivers of the Market

As consumers become more health-conscious, there is a rising demand for non-alcoholic beverages that offer nutritional benefits and are free from harmful additives. Further, the UAE is a popular tourist destination, attracting visitors from around the world. The hospitality sector`s growth, coupled with the increasing number of tourists, drives the demand for non-alcoholic beverages in hotels, restaurants, and cafes. Moreover, the market players` continuous efforts in aggressive marketing and promotional campaigns have increased consumer awareness and contributed to market growth.

Challenges of the Market

The market is highly competitive, with both local and international players vying for market share. This competition puts pressure on pricing and margins. Further, the UAE government implemented a sugar tax in 2017, which negatively impacted the sales of sugary beverages. Manufacturers had to reformulate their products or face declining sales.

Covid-19 Impact on the Market

The outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic in early 2025 had a significant impact on the non-alcoholic drink market in the UAE. The measures taken to contain the spread of the virus, such as lockdowns and restrictions on gatherings, led to a decline in on-premises consumption in restaurants, cafes, and hotels. However, there was an increase in at-home consumption as people stocked up on beverages during the lockdown.

Key Players of the Market
