Market Dynamics

Rising consumer inclination toward natural, health-focused food and beverage products

The increasing consumer inclination towards natural and health-focused food and beverage products industries fuels the growth of the fruit puree market. Given that people are becoming more health conscious, they are increasingly looking for nutritious and minimally processed food options. Fruit purees are rich in essential nutrients and free of artificial additives, which is becoming a trend nowadays. New Zealand consumers are looking for clean-label products that contain natural sweeteners, fiber, vitamins, and fruit purees are very popular. Statistics from many studies support this shift in preferences.

According to the US-based International Food Information Council (IFIC), over 70 percent of consumers worldwide highly value natural minimally processed food items. Market research also shows that the demand for organic fruit puree has been increasing steadily due to the increasing awareness of consuming organic fruits for health benefits. Thus, fruit puree manufacturers are trying to develop healthier formulations to meet the demand of health-conscious consumers.

Growing demand for convenient, ready-to-eat food products among consumers globally

The fruit puree market is driven by the growing demand for ready-to-eat food products. Consumers are looking for quick & easy meal options without sacrificing nutrition as they have even busier lifestyles & shorter timeframes to fulfill their needs. Fruit purees are convenient because they work in many applications from smoothies, to baked goods to snacks without further preparation. As food service continues to grow and the need for options to consume on the go becomes more popular this trend has only gotten stronger.

Data from the Food Agriculture Organisation (FAO) says the demand for processed and ready-to-eat foods will rise by more than 20 percent in the upcoming years. However, this change in customer preferences allows fruit puree producers to capitalize on the convenience-driven market and close a gap existing among today’s consumers.

High expenses linked to sourcing raw materials and manufacturing processes

One of the major restraints for the fruit puree market is the high expenses involved in the sourcing of raw materials and manufacturing processes. Costs of sourcing fresh and high-quality produce are high and especially for seasonal and organic produce amounts can vary depending on supply. In addition, the production of fruit as purees requires further equipment, energy, and labor which adds up to higher production expenses. These costs can affect the manufacturers’ profit margins and they can penalize the manufacturers’ ability to compete with competitive pricing.

In addition, stringent quality control and food safety regulations make the overall burden of money much heavier because of the investment that is required in technology and certificates. This restraint restricts the effect of small and large-scale producers alike, lowering their ability to increase production and meet the increasing consumer demand efficiently.

Increasing demand for organic fruit purees driven by growing health awareness

There is great potential for the fruit puree market, which wants purees made from organic fruit. With ever-increasing consumer awareness about health, combined with the natural inclination for organic fruit purees, this category will gain momentum in the market. Healthy eating products are here to stay.  Their products are correct things to keep up with now because they can be much healthier alternatives to a product made up of synthetic additives or preservatives. The manufacturer can now add this demand for making organic product lines and new formulating, with exciting formulas tailored to the health-conscious consumer's needs.

Environmental sustainability is in the minds of many; this fact can provide tremendous manifestations of growth in the Organic fruit puree market. More importantly, it gives businesses a competitive edge in providing better organic solutions in response to changing consumer preferences.

Innovative development of sustainable and convenient packaging solutions

The fruit puree market has a valuable opportunity in the innovative development of sustainable and convenient packaging solutions. With consumers seeing things more environmentally conscious than ever, packages that don’t generate too much waste and use environmentally friendly materials are in high demand. This allows manufacturers to design sustainable packaging, which will match the consumer's wish to have greener options. Integrating something like biodegradable, recyclable, or reusable packaging has allowed fruit puree producers the ability to not only reduce their environmental footprint but to attract eco-consistent customers.

Besides that, convenient packaging that enables the product to enjoy its freshness and quality while being friendly to the user makes the product even more appealing to stressed consumers with fuller schedules who are looking for impromptu solutions. Instead, this innovation-driven approach holds promise for companies in addressing discerning customers' expectations for sustainable food packaging solutions and for enabling them to improve their brand image as they differentiate their products in the dynamically expanding market.
