COVID-19 IMPACT

Raspberry Industry Had a Negative Effect Due to supply chain disruptions and shortages during COVID-19 Pandemic

The global COVID-19 pandemic has been unprecedented and staggering, with the market experiencing lower-than-anticipated demand across all regions compared to pre-pandemic levels. The sudden market growth reflected by the rise in CAGR is attributable to the market’s growth and demand returning to pre-pandemic levels.

The COVID-19 pandemic had a negative effect on the raspberry market, especially when there were massive and important closure restrictions, both at the state and national level, that were ordered and enforced. The COVID-19 crisis has destroyed balance in the supply chain, and a variety of labour shortages delayed labour availability for the fresh raspberry harvest. Store-ready fresh berries had less availability for consumers, while transportation controls and voyage disruptions reduced the availability of raspberries intended for export trade. Export markets were very negatively affected for raspberry exports; as international markets were disrupted. The closure of restaurants, hotels, and cafes also curtailed demand by foodservice operators for raspberries and raspberry products. Many distracted producers will experience losses, and the raspberry market will see declines associated with the pandemic phase of trade.

LATEST TRENDS

Sustainable Innovations and Consumer Trends Are Driving Market Growth

The raspberry industry is one of the stepping stones towards a healthy change, creating trends with consumer preference shifts in the waste stream of technology. Interest is seen, for example, in organic and sustainable farming methods; some growers head toward pesticide-free production methods under regenerative agriculture, while packaging production under biodegradability is being demanded on environmental grounds by their customers. On the opposite front, there is burgeoning potential for various value-added raspberry products (frozen berries, powders, extracts/products) supplied along clean-label avenues so that consumers may enjoy their raspberries throughout the year. In general, the new and innovative processing technologies (e.g., those based on HPP, AI in product sorting, and smart packaging) that reduce waste and extend shelf life continuously change the market. This fast evolution thrusts the spotlight onto sustainable agriculture, something crucial to consumers. It enables growers to offer an attractive product while enjoying sustainable returns. Therefore, this, in turn, will render growers in a better position to support the price premium that cascades throughout the supply chain.

RASPBERRY MARKET SEGMENTATION

By Type

Based on Type, the global market can be categorized into Fresh Raspberries, Frozen Raspberries & Dried Raspberries

• Fresh Raspberries: Fresh raspberries represent the greatest segment of the raspberry market, as they are always requested by retail and foodservice customers. If you have a fresh raspberry, you know they are in demand based on quality, colour, flavour and nutrition. Fresh raspberries are used fresh and in dessert uses. In spite of the demand, fresh raspberries are soft in distribution. They have a short shelf life that is hard to calculate/unknown because of their soft characteristics. However, product and cold chain transportation/packaging technology have given more opportunities to improve the fruit quality and expiration.

• Frozen Raspberries: Frozen raspberries account for heavier volumes than fresh raspberries because frozen raspberries are available year-round and have a longer shelf life. Fresh raspberries may appear in many smoothies or baked goods, but frozen raspberries have greater volumes in prepared foods and food manufacturing. Frozen raspberries could be considered a growing category because of the health push and convenience of frozen fruits. The health-oriented fascination with frozen raspberries is appealing to all consumers, and freezing technology is advancing by helping maintain raspberry structure and nutrients.

• Dried Raspberries: Dried raspberries are the smallest segment of the raspberry market but are growing because dried raspberries are now common in snacks, cereals, health foods, and superfoods. Dried raspberries provide a concentrated flavour and a long shelf life and have significant logistical advantages for online and international shipping. The dried raspberry product segment has an advantage given the increasing demand for convenient, portable, low-calorie snacks, but dried raspberries have high processing costs and consumer unfamiliarity.

By Application

Based on application, the global market can be categorized into Food & Beverages, Organic Products, Smoothie & Juice Bars and Bakery Products

• Food & Beverage: The food and beverage sector uses raspberries for flavour, colour, and nutraceutical value. Raspberries are actually highly concentrated in yogurt, drinks, sauces, and confectionery. Drivers for the food and beverage sector include consumer favourability and demand for natural/functional ingredients. Expanding the supply of high-antioxidant foods is now leading to greater use of raspberries in food applications.

• Organic products: The organic products category continues to grow consistently as more consumers are willing to change their diets as their first healthy diet changes and show increased concern for the environment. Historically, raspberries grown with no synthetic pesticides and fertilizers represent the organic profile quite well, and fresh, pure raspberries grown without their certification and traceability provide transparency to the organic story, which increases consumer comfort in organic products. Clean labels and sustainable food movements provide positive incentives to spur organic product growth.

• Smoothies and Juices: Smoothie and juice bars have a wide application of raspberries based on their combination of flavour aspects and health use. Consumers are interested in the high vitamin C and antioxidants available from raspberries. The expansion of the health and wellness consumer, because of the new fitness trend, is supporting this sector. Seasonal promotions defined by consumer experimentation with raspberry blends and mashups have developed certain interests.

The growth of the interest in fruit-sweetened baked items has accompanied growing interest in gourmet and artisan baking. Whole frozen and pureed raspberry products are often forms of product choice for use on a year-round basis. The category is further enhanced through both traditional recipes and new modern bakery items.

MARKET DYNAMICS

Market dynamics include driving and restraining factors, opportunities and challenges stating the market conditions.

Driving Factor

Health Awareness Drives Market Growth Through Nutrient-Rich Food Demand

The greater awareness of global health and nutrition plays one of the largest roles in influencing demand growth in the raspberry industry. Raspberries are nutrient-dense with many nutritional constituents and other phytonutrients, including two dozen essential minerals, dietary fiber, antioxidant constituents, vitamins, etc., that are all directly beneficial to consumers' health. In recent years, there has been increased consumer awareness and concern regarding health-related issues that are often associated with heart disease and obesity; as a result, raspberry products have become increasingly sought after by consumers. Furthermore, as today's consumers are transforming towards food that is more natural and with probably functional health characteristics, raspberries are incorporated into the most popular foods consumers eat today or into health-based foods.

Organic Demand Boosts Market Growth Through Sustainability and Premiums

The demand for organic and clean-label products in particular has rejuvenated the Raspberry Market Growth, specifically in developed markets. In such markets, consumers actively search for food products in which the product does not contain artificial preservatives, pesticides, or GMOs. Fortunately, organic raspberries provide all of the attributes of regular raspberries but essentially make the original health benefit much healthier, more fun, and better for the environment. Additionally, the changes in consumer expectations have developed opportunities that have allowed the farmer to practice ecology and sustainability principles and to charge premium prices for their product.

Restraining Factor

Perishability and Cold-Chain Gaps Hinder Overall Market Growth

The limited shelf life and perishability of raspberries (a primary limiting factor for the Raspberry Market) because raspberries are a fragile berry and can be damaged while harvesting, packaging, and during distribution contribute to high post-harvest losses and limited distribution range, and it requires efficient cold-chain infrastructure that is not always assured everywhere. As such, there are issues for smaller producers and emerging markets in relying on raspberry fruit in maintaining quality, especially during peak harvest times to satisfy demand.

Value-added Products and E-Commerce Are Driving Market Growth

Opportunity

The growth of value-added products from raspberries, such as powders, concentrates, and freeze-dried snacks, provides opportunity for growth in the Raspberry Market. These markets possess longer shelf life and convenience while providing the extended versatility of food, beverages, and nutraceuticals. There is continued and increasing interest by consumers in superfoods and functional ingredients, which continues to create a demand for raspberry-based health products and supplements. E-commerce and online retail are also helping expand the marketplace for these new innovations. Producers can now capture high-value/premium markets for additional profit using raspberry products that another operator would not want (due to perishability).

High Costs and Climate Challenges Restrict Consistent Market Growth

Challenge

The Raspberry Market has a major access issue related to consumers, and the main problem is the very high supply costs and labour required to pick the fruit. Because raspberries are perishable, they are not mechanized, and of course, added manual harvest costs are not profitable. For HRS to be effectively employed with a traditional crop (including picking berry crops), the costs will go up. Weather and climate change variability affects a grower's ability to develop consistency in yield and fruit quality, resulting in price uncertainty and predictability issues from producers and wholesalers.
