The IQF fruits market size was valued at $6,235.3 million in 2021, and is expected to reach $11,776.1 million by 2031, registering a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031. The report presents a comprehensive analysis of current and future trends of the global frozen food market along with forecasts to help businesses and stakeholders develop a better understanding of the market.
IQF (individually fast freezing) is a non-thermal and chemical-free method of food preservation. The use of IQF for food preservation has a number of advantages. It has various advantages, some of which include extending shelf life and maintaining the flavor & quality of food goods. IQF fruits are fruits that have been processed using the IQF method technology, in which each fruit is transferred to a blast freezer for quick freezing to extend its shelf life and preserve it for a longer period of time. The fruit is preserved using this approach without affecting its composition or flavor. Many non-thermal preservation methods exist, however, the individual fast freezing (IQF) method is the most effective one.
Any food product's shelf life is important in the food and beverage sector. The quality and flavor of the food products that consumers eat are important considerations. The IQF technology is frequently used in the food and beverage sector to preserve food products in order to keep them from losing their flavors and quality before being consumed. Additionally, it is crucial to preserve fruits. To avoid denaturing or spoilage before consumption, these food items must be kept in a low-temperature environment during storage or preservation. Thus, increasing demand for food with longer shelf-life is driving the market growth for the IQF fruits market.
In terms of market income and volume, North America is anticipated to be the region with the largest market for IQF fruits and vegetables worldwide during the forecast period. The U. S. is anticipated to provide the most lucrative business for IQF fruits, followed by Canada. According to projections, the main driver of the industry's expansion in North America would be rise in demand for juice made from exotic fruits. A double-digit CAGR is also anticipated for the Asia-Pacific throughout the projected period as a result of increased consumer disposable income and escalating demand for packaged foods & convenience foods.
The development of the global market for individual quick freeze (IQF) fruits may be seriously threatened by the high costs associated with purchasing freezing equipment. Another significant factor that is anticipated to hinder the growth of the fruit market during the projected period is the fact that frozen foods often contain preservatives that are harmful to the human health. Thus, such factors restrain the market growth.
The IQF fruits market is segmented on the basis of fruit, end use industry, sales channel, and region. By fruit, it is segregated into berries, peach, prune, bananas, pineapple, mangoes, oranges, and others. On the basis of end use industry, the market is categorized food industry, retail, and HoReCa. The food industry segment is further classified into bakery & confectionary, dairy, fruit-based beverages, and breakfast cereals. By sales channel, it is bifurcated into direct sales and indirect sales. The indirect sales segment is further fragmented into hypermarkets & supermarkets, convenience stores, specialty retail stores, and online retailers. On the basis of region, it is analyzed across North America (the U. S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, Italy, UK, France, Spain, Russia, and rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, and rest of LAMEA).
The major players operating in the market focus on key market strategies, such as mergers, product launches, acquisitions, collaborations, and partnerships. Some of the key players in the IQF Fruits market industry include AGRANA, Alasko Food Inc, AXUS International, LLC., Bsfoods, Capricorn Food Products India Ltd, Danone SA, Himgiri Group, RDM International, SunLeaf, and SunOpta.

Executive Summary
According to this report, titled, 'IQF Fruits Market,' the IQF fruits market was valued at $6.2 billion in 2021, and is estimated to reach $11.8 billion by 2031, growing at a CAGR of 6.8% from 2022 to 2031.IQF is an environment-friendly and non-thermal technique of food preservation. Most fruits and vegetables are preserved using this method. The use of IQF in food preservation is related to a number of advantages. It has various advantages, some of which include extending shelf life and maintaining the flavor & quality of food goods. The demand from food manufacturers to preserve food for a long time and utilize it as a component in finished goods fuels the growth of the global IQF fruit market share. The working class continues to contribute significantly to revenue growth during the forecast period. The IQF fruits have a number of essential qualities that aid in preventing deterioration during difficult transit. These characteristics shield them from exposure to light and heat. The demand for IQF fruits in dairy products is anticipated to increase during the forecast period. Yogurt and other dairy products are in high demand, and this demand is growing tremendously. Customer inclination for veganism is also one of the key factors that propel the growth of the global IQF fruit market size.
The IQF fruits industry places a great deal of emphasis on the production of frozen fruits. However, as the cost of IQF fruit is so exorbitant thus regular people refrain from purchasing them. They shift their attention to simply purchasing fresh fruits. As a result, this might be a constraint for the global market as the companies need to lower the profit margin and the price of frozen fruits to boost sales.
Nevertheless, the rise in the desire of food producers to retain food goods for a long period as an ingredient for use in finished products is another significant development in the IQF fruits market. The growing working-class population is anticipated to continue to boost sales in the worldwide IQF fruits sector. In addition, IQF fruits have essential qualities that guard them against spoiling during demanding transportation as well as exposure to light and heat. Consumption of IQF fruit and goods using IQF fruit as an ingredient is anticipated to foster market growth, increasing GDP and raising customer awareness of their health.
The IQF fruits market is segmented on the basis of fruit, end-use industry, sales channel, and region. By fruit, it is segregated into berries, peaches, prune, bananas, pineapple, mangoes, oranges, and others. On the basis of the end-use industry, the market is categorized as food industry, retail, and HoReCa. The food industry segment is further segregated into bakery & confectionary, dairy, fruit-based beverages, and breakfast cereals. By sales channel, it is bifurcated into direct sales and indirect sales. The indirect sales segment is further fragmented into hypermarkets & supermarkets, convenience stores, specialty retail stores, and online retailers. On the basis of region, it is analyzed across North America (the U.S., Canada, and Mexico), Europe (Germany, Italy, UK, France, Spain, Russia, and the rest of Europe), Asia-Pacific (China, India, Japan, Australia, South Korea, and rest of Asia-Pacific), and LAMEA (Brazil, South Africa, Argentina, and rest of LAMEA).
