Brief Overview of Fruit Powder Market of Latin America

Latin American nations generally are characterized by massive production of fresh fruits and vegetables. Consumption of fruits and vegetables in fresh form was popular in Latin America since it was abundantly available and people generally shunned from consumption of processed food items. But in past two decades, demand for processed industrial based fruit items is rising laden to elevation in demand for jams, packaged juices, powdered juices, syrups, fruit purees, etc.

Fruit powders are either edible artificial flavored powder or a powdered form of fruits and vegetables obtained after dehydration which is generally sold together with water serving. Banana powder, mango powder, tomato powder, strawberry powder and numerous other variety of fruit powders are sold in Latin American market which can be used as drink by mixing water, as dessert flavoring, curry flavoring, etc.

 Demand for such treated food powders is expanding due to the following reasons:

·         Health considerations

Post workout fruit powders, meal replacement fruit powders, nutrient rich fruit powder, low carb powders, etc. has been launched in market and have gained immense popularity.

·         Pocket Friendly

Fruit drinks made by using fruit powders are most pocket friendly drinks. Moreover, like many other economies industrial products are cheaper than agricultural products in Latin America. Because of slowdown in Latin American economy demand for fruit powders is soaring since they are far less expensive than fresh fruits.

Conclusion

Though the fruit powder industry has shown a progressive growth but this growth is not so significant. The growth of the fruit powder market in Latin America is constrained by the following:

·         Low per capita income which in turn leads to lower per capita expenditure on fruit powders.

·         High content of sugar, preservatives and additives found in such food powders has led to fall in demand for such powders.

·         Greater consumption of fresh fruits in Latin America is acting as a constraint for full expansion of artificially flavored fruit powder industry.
