Homogenised jams, jellies, marmalades, purées and pastes market in France

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for homogenised jams, jellies, marmalades, purées and pastes in France rose from 7 074 t in 2018 to a peak of 10 677 t in 2019, then entered a sustained decline, falling to 2 272 t by 2023.

A shift in consumer preferences from 2022 onward contributed to this trend, marked by growing demand for products with reduced or no added sugar, driven by health concerns. This led to the replacement of sugar with artificial sweeteners and fruit concentrates, alongside a rising preference for spreads free from preservatives and artificial additives, which affected the traditional market segment. The competitive landscape continued to be influenced by major domestic players such as the Andros Group.
