Homogenised jams, jellies, marmalades, purées and pastes market in Australia and New Zealand

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2022, the market volume for homogenised jams, jellies, marmalades, purées and pastes in Australia and New Zealand contracted sharply from 3 319 t to 813 t. This decline was driven by falling domestic production, which dropped from 2 604 t to 2 404 t over the period, and a substantial reduction in imports from 1 245 t to 645 t. Simultaneously, exports surged, particularly in 2021 and 2022, reaching 2 236 t, which further limited product availability on the domestic market.

In 2023, the market volume recovered to 901 t, even as production and imports continued to decrease to 2 059 t and 533 t, respectively. The key driver was a significant drop in exports, which fell to 1 691 t from the previous year's high. A global increase in average import prices for these products by 10.4% likely made exports less attractive in volume terms, redirecting more supply to the domestic market.
