Key Market Trends

Demand for reduced sugar/fat spreads

Regular jams contain huge quantities of sugar, which helps improve shelf-life, taste, and mouth-feel. However, with the rising health concerns, sugar is being replaced with alternatives, such as artificial sweeteners, fruit concentrates, and others, for the preparation of low-sugar and sugar-free jams, jellies, and preserves. With low-carb and low-fat diets trending across the world, the consumers are continuously looking out for healthier and tastier, convenient food options, like jams, jellies, and preserves, that are low in sugar and fat. Moreover, fruits, such as raspberries and blueberries, are being infused with special ingredients, such as spices, herbs, honey, and chia seeds, among others, in order to produce low-sugar and sugar-free jams, jellies, and preserves.
