In the Asia-Pacific region, the growth in the fruit and vegetable juice market is driven by heightened demand for healthy food from an increasingly health-conscious consumer base. To meet this consumer requirement, key players are focusing on introducing different varieties and flavors, along with innovative packaging and product development. In addition, the advancing retail sector in the region has increased the accessibility of consumers to a wide range of products being introduced in the market, which is supplementing the growth rate. However, supermarkets and hypermarkets lead the contributing share among other sales channels in the region.
Additionally, shifting consumer tastes for products with less or no sugar is pushing beverage makers to develop new products according to the consumers' demands. Since customers are actively striving to avoid consuming sugary drinks to minimize the negative consequences of excessive sugar intake, these firms are developing a variety of unique items to meet the accelerating demand for such products. For example, in 2021, Dole Sunshine India introduced natural pineapple juice. The product was claimed to be all-natural with no added sugar or artificial preservatives.
Consumers are opting for products that do not have chemical ingredients, leading to a rising demand for natural and organic foods and beverages. This change in the consumer's preference will lead to high demand for organic juices. Owing to increasing preference for organic food products, retail chains are increasingly offering organic products such as organic dairy products, organic drinks, organic juices, organic cereals, organic meat, and others that are expected to grow in the near future. As a result, consumers today are increasingly aware of the rampant usage of synthetic ingredients in packaged juices and have been dissuaded from using such products. This, in turn, is propelling the demand for natural and organic juices market across the region.
According to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service, the consumption value of organic beverages in India reached USD 92 million this year. Compared to the prior year, when the consumption value was USD 81 million, this reflects an increase in organic beverages across the nation. Organic juice demand has been gradually increasing in households as a convenient and nutritious option. Consumers are turning away from sweetened beverages and are actively seeking beverages that have the natural goodness of fruits and are free from chemicals. In addition, an increased inclination of consumers toward low-calorie and high-fiber beverages, such as organic fruit juices, vegetable juice, and blends, is anticipated to augment the growth of the market studied.
