COVID-19 Impact
COVID-19 is expected to have an impact on the majority of enterprises in the food and beverage industry. Indeed, the industry’s pessimistic predictions are becoming a reality due to falling raw material costs, supply chain bottlenecks, spending slowdowns, and credit market concerns. To assist in curbing the spread of the virus and for economic reasons, some big food and beverage corporations have closed operations and are considering the extent of layoffs. For example, the food and beverage manufacturing industry, which employs thousands of people in the United States, is expected to be hard hit during this outbreak, owing to two factors viz. various jobs are on-site and cannot be performed remotely, and second, supply has been reduced due to slowed economic activity. Businesses and governments place a high focus on protecting the health of their customers and employees.
Market Growth Factors

Ascorbic acid is a water-soluble vitamin that is essential for good health. Humans, unlike most plants and animals, are unable to manufacture ascorbic acid. As a result, it is required as a dietary supplement for humans. Acerola is a vitamin C-rich natural food. In addition, acerola is one of the few fruits that include phenolics, anthocyanins, flavonoids, and carotenoids in significant amounts, in addition to being a good source of ascorbic acid. Additionally, Acerola is a popular supplement for preventing vitamin C insufficiency. It is also used to treat the common cold, diarrhea, and other ailments.
The trend of clean label products in the food and beverage sector
When it comes to food and beverage items, the clean label has become a new standard. Natural antioxidants in processed food products have become increasingly popular as consumers seek out natural products that incorporate intrinsically natural, fresh, nutritious, and balanced nutrients. In addition, consumers are willing to spend a premium price for a food or drink product created with components they recognize and trust. Consumers believe natural substances are safer and healthier, hence natural antioxidants are more likely to be approved than synthetic antioxidants. Acerola extract is getting popular in the food and beverage sector as a natural antioxidant. In the food and beverage business, the recent interest in clean-label products, which is slowly becoming mandated globally, presents a variety of potential opportunities for acerola extract manufacturers.
