Concentrated dry fruit and vegetable extracts are ingredients made by extracting or juicing fruit or vegetables, concentrating the liquid, and drying it into a stable powder that food, beverage, nutrition, pet food, and cosmetic manufacturers use in place of a liquid. They range from fruit juice powders carried on maltodextrin and tomato powder to fruit- and vegetable-sourced coloring foods and standardized polyphenol extracts sold on anthocyanin or proanthocyanidin content. The market is measured on a finished-powder basis, including carrier, and excludes dehydrated whole-fruit and vegetable powders, liquid concentrates, purées and pastes, color additives carrying an E number, flavorings, and fermentation-derived colors.
Food and beverage manufacturers are replacing synthetic colors, powder-format beverage, supplement, and pet products are growing, and clean-label and organic positioning favors concentrated juices and extracts over additives. In the U.S., FD&C Red No. 3 must be removed from food by January 15, 2027, the revocation of Orange B took effect in September 2026, and six other petroleum-based dyes are being removed through voluntary industry commitments. China introduced a national industry standard for coloring foods in 2025, and Brazil issued a guide on plant extracts and concentrates in March 2026, giving manufacturers a documented basis for declaring fruit and vegetable concentrates as food ingredients.
The report examines market drivers, restraints, opportunities, and trends, the EU framework for novel foods, additives, and labeling, the fruit provisions of the EU Breakfast Directive, organic certification requirements, Porter's five forces, the value chain and cost structure, raw material supply and seasonality, import and export flows, and average prices by product type, source, drying technology, application, and country. It explains why concentrated dry vegetable extracts, aronia, freeze drying, and pet nutrition are growing faster than the overall market. It also provides value and volume forecasts, segment-level insights across 14 fruit and vegetable sources, and regional analysis across 5 regions and 12 countries to support business, investment, and product decisions.
Fruit and vegetable raw materials are seasonal and their prices are volatile: orange juice concentrate futures fell 59% during 2025, and world processing tomato volume fell 12.1% in the same year. Concentration and drying are energy-intensive, requiring 2,900 to 11,500 kJ per kilogram of water removed depending on the drying route, and natural color systems and standardized extracts cost more in use than the synthetic dyes and commodity ingredients they replace, which slows conversion in price-sensitive categories.
Carrier-free and clean-label extract powders, natural replacements for yellow and orange shades, and organic-certified supply positions offer significant opportunities. Meanwhile, color and ingredient capacity is moving to North America, clinical substantiation is becoming the route to premium pricing for fruit extracts, processors are upcycling juice, pomace, and pruning co-products into standardized extracts, and natural color is extending into pet nutrition.
Based on product type, the market is segmented into concentrated dry fruit extracts, including fruit juice powders, standardized fruit polyphenol extracts, and fruit-sourced coloring foods, and concentrated dry vegetable extracts, including tomato powder, vegetable juice powders, and black carrot, beetroot, red cabbage, and purple sweet potato concentrates supplied for color. In 2026, concentrated dry fruit extracts are expected to account for the largest share of the market, reflecting the breadth of fruit raw materials in scope, standardized polyphenol extracts sold into supplements, and fruit juice powder demand in beverages and bakery. Concentrated dry vegetable extracts are expected to grow the fastest, driven by the removal of petroleum-based dyes in the U.S. and new natural color capacity in North America.
Based on source, the market is segmented into fruit sources, including orange, lemon and lime, apple, grape, berries, aronia (chokeberry), tropical fruits, and other fruits, and vegetable sources, including carrot, beetroot, tomato, spinach and leafy greens, pumpkin and squash, and other vegetables. In 2026, berries are expected to hold the largest share, as the same fruit supplies both juice powders and standardized extracts, and elderberry ranks among the top-selling herbal supplement ingredients in the U.S. Aronia is expected to grow the fastest, driven by standardized aronia extracts entering U.S. and European supplement channels and by aronia concentrate used as a coloring food. Among vegetable sources, carrot is the largest and beetroot is expected to grow the fastest.
Based on drying technology, the market is segmented into spray drying, vacuum drying, freeze drying, drum drying, and other drying routes. In 2026, spray drying is expected to hold the largest share, reflecting the continuous operation and high throughput of spray dryers and their compatibility with carrier-based drying of sugar-rich fruit juices. Freeze drying is expected to grow the fastest, driven by standardized extracts, premium supplement grades, and fruit and vegetable powders that require low-temperature drying to retain anthocyanins and aroma.
Based on application, the market is segmented into beverages, bakery and confectionery, dairy and frozen desserts, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements, savory and convenience foods, infant and early-life nutrition, pet nutrition, cosmetics and personal care, and other applications. In 2026, nutraceuticals and dietary supplements are expected to hold the largest share, given the concentration of aronia, grape seed, berry, and citrus extracts sold on active content in this channel. Pet nutrition is expected to grow the fastest, driven by the extension of natural color into pet food and by premium pet food formats carrying fruit and vegetable declarations.
In 2026, Europe is expected to account for the largest share of the global market, supported by a German and Dutch cluster of ingredient groups and color specialists, a French and British cluster of color and extract producers, and an Italian cluster covering fruit powders in South Tyrol, standardized citrus extracts in Sicily, and tomato powder in Emilia-Romagna, as well as by a regulatory framework that recognizes coloring foods as food ingredients. Germany is the largest market in Europe, and the U.K. is expected to grow the fastest among the region's individually analyzed countries.
Asia-Pacific is expected to grow the fastest during the forecast period, driven by packaged beverage, snack, and seasoning production in India, the solid beverage and infant nutrition categories in China, and Southeast Asian beverage and instant noodle production, with China as the largest market in the region and India as the fastest-growing country market in the study. In North America, the U.S. is the largest country market in the world, although it draws much of its orange and apple concentrate from Brazil, Poland, and China; in Latin America, Brazil is the largest market and Mexico is expected to grow the fastest.
The market is fragmented, with diversified ingredient groups that participate through natural ingredient, color, or flavor divisions competing alongside specialists focused on a single raw material base, format, or end use. Döhler is the only player with verified lines across fruit powders, standardized extracts, coloring foods, and vegetable powders, while GNT, Oterra, and Sensient lead in coloring foods. Between January 2025 and September 2026, expansions were the main strategy, followed by product launches, acquisitions, and partnerships, including the acquisition of Treatt plc by Döhler, Döhler's new plant in the State of Mexico, the CHF 187 million liquids facility that Givaudan relocated to West Harrison, Indiana, successive natural color investments by ADM in Kentucky, a natural color capacity program of up to USD 250 million by Sensient, the launch of ColorFruit Pet Yellow by Oterra, and the U.S. launch of ARONVIT by Greenvit.
