Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach US$ 8.6 Billion by 2027, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.58% during 2022-2027.

These insights are included in the report as a major market contributor.

Fruit snacks are refreshment products that contain fruit juice or pulp of apple, mango, banana, pineapple and berries as a key ingredient. The snacks are processed and manufactured using corn syrup, sugar, fruit concentrate, water, gelatin and various natural and artificial flavors. Some of the commonly available fruit snacks include smoothies, fruit chunks, dips, popsicles, fruit sandwiches, drinkable jellies, flavored gummies and jelly strips. They are also fortified with added vitamins, minerals and other nutrients essential for a balanced diet. As compared to other gelatin-based snacks, they offer enhanced storage convenience, longer shelf life and higher nutritional content.

Significant growth in the food and beverage industry, along with the increasing consumer preference for ready-to-eat (RTE) snacks and convenience food products, represents one of the key factors creating a positive outlook for the market. Furthermore, rising health consciousness among the masses is also driving the market growth. Fruit snacks aid in minimizing the risks of developing cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), high blood pressure (BP), diabetes and weight-related disorders. In line with this, the increasing demand for functional food and beverages, coupled with nutrient-rich processed food, is also contributing to the growth of the market. Additionally, various product innovations, such as the launch of fruit snacks in exotic tropical fruit flavors manufactured using organic and non-genetically modified (GMO) ingredients, are acting as other growth-inducing factors. Product manufacturers are also using attractive packaging, along with the aggressive promotional activities through online retail channels to reach a wider consumer base. Other factors, including rising expenditure capacities of the consumers, along with extensive research and development (R&D) activities, are anticipated to drive the market further.
