Processed Fruits and Vegetables Market Analysis

Type (Fruits, Vegetables)

The global processed fruits and vegetables market is segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by type into fruits and vegetables. Out of which, the fruits segment is anticipated to garner the largest revenue by the end of 2037. The growth of the segment can be attributed to increase in the number of people consuming more fruits, followed by the growing people being conscious regarding health.  Moreover, the taste that fruits contain makes it more preferable than vegetables. About 9% of individuals consume the recommended daily dose of vegetables, and approximately 11% of adults consume the recommended daily serving of fruit in America. However, most fruits only last for about 4 days after being sliced. Further, humidity and high temperature also make fruits rot within a few hours of slicing. Hence, the demand for processed fruits is anticipated to increase, further boosting the market’s growth.

Product (Fresh, Fresh Cut, Canned, Frozen, Drying, Dehydration)

The global processed fruits and vegetables market is also segmented and analyzed for demand and supply by product into fresh, fresh cut, canned, frozen, drying, and dehydration. Amongst these, the fresh segment is anticipated to hold the largest market share over the forecast period, backed by growing wastage of food which needs to be controlled. To avoid wasting or spoiling (by microbiological contamination) during transport, fruits and vegetables are treated with preservation techniques and packaged. Food preservation lowers the amount of food wasted, garbage disposed of in landfills, and environmental impact. The majority of fruits and vegetables produced worldwide are wasted, according to the most recent data. This amounts to over 2 billion tons of wasted food and is the second-largest source of greenhouse gas emissions, accounting for about 5 gigatons of greenhouse gas emissions. Further, although eating food right away is unquestionably the best option, freezing fresh fruits and vegetables offers several advantages. One could maintain control over the food ingredients that they eat all year long by canning, drying, and freezing. Moreover, to encourage the consumption of fruits and vegetables, a number of government programmes and food policy councils have been established, which has raised the demand for fresh produce.
