The fruit pulp market size is expected to see steady growth in the next few years. It will grow to $1.91 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.7%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to increasing demand for natural ingredients, rising consumption of smoothies and purees, expansion of foodservice applications, growing preference for organic fruit pulp, increasing use in functional beverages.

The increasing demand in the processed foods sector is anticipated to propel the growth of the fruit pulp market in the future. Processed foods refer to food items that have undergone intentional changes to their natural state through various methods of preparation, preservation, cooking, or packaging. Fruit pulps add natural sweetness to processed foods, reducing the need for excessive added sugars in products like jams, jellies, fruit fillings, and fruit-flavored beverages. For instance, in 2023, the United States Department of Agriculture, a U.S.-based federal agency, reported that the total value of U.S. processed food product exports rose to $36.59 billion, marking a 1.7% increase compared to previous years. Thus, the growing demand in processed foods is driving the expansion of the fruit pulp market.

Leading companies in the fruit pulp market are increasingly concentrating on creating products that feature real fruit chunks. Real fruit chunks are pieces of whole fruit integrated into various food products, including smoothies, beverages, desserts, and snacks. Unlike fruit purees or juices that may undergo extensive processing, real fruit chunks maintain the natural texture, flavor, and nutritional benefits of the fruit. For example, in May 2023, Sunfeast, an Indian-based company specializing in fresh and packaged fruits, launched smoothies made with milk and real fruits, aiming to offer a nutritious and flavorful option for consumers looking for healthier beverage choices. The flavor of the Sunfeast Smoothies range has been enhanced with ingredients such as mango chunks, fruit pieces, chia seeds, and basil seeds. These components are known for providing a variety of nutrients beneficial to the human body. This product line is tailored to meet the rising demand for clean-label products that emphasize natural ingredients, appealing to health-conscious consumers.
