Report Highlights




Given the rising consumer awareness of the high sugar and calorie content of fruit juices, there is an opportunity for vegetable juices, which boast healthy nutrients and vitamins and benefit from low sugar and low calorie properties. While sensory limitations have subdued consumer demand, fruit and vegetable combinations are gaining traction.




With functional products gaining increasing traction among consumers, the category has experienced a surge of more advanced health claims than standard vitamin and antioxidant claims.
