Apple juice market in Oceania

Earlier Report Observations

The apple juice market remained stable at around 90 million liters in 2018 and 2019. A sharp increase to 116 million liters occurred in 2020, primarily driven by the COVID-19 pandemic, which heightened consumer focus on nutritious beverages and boosted demand. This surge coincided with rising raw material prices due to lower apple harvests.

Market growth continued over the next two years, reaching 136.2 million liters by 2022. This expansion was supported by the strengthening organic segment, including the entry of new operators into the organic space, and sustained consumer preference for local and sustainable products. These trends persisted despite inflationary pressures that increased production costs.

In 2023, the market volume experienced a moderate decline to 129.8 million liters. During this period, apple production saw an increase, which improved the availability of raw material for juice manufacturers.
