Challenges In Cherry Juice Concentrate Market

High production costs are one of the main issues in the market of cherry juice concentrate.

Another major challenge is competing with other fruit juice concentrates and beverages in terms of lower production costs, e.g., apple juice concentrate or orange juice concentrates. Besides that, changing consumer preferences toward low-sugar or sugar-free options affects this juice market, as most concentrates are laden with sugars to entice good taste. On the other hand, the consumers are becoming increasingly cognisant about excessive sugar consumption, leaving manufacturers at the crossroads of innovating while adhering to healthy requirements of customer attractions in flavour and nutritious values.
