Jams, jellies, marmalades, purées and pastes market in Denmark

Earlier Report Observations

The market volume for jams, jellies, marmalades, purées and pastes in Denmark showed considerable volatility between 2018 and 2024. After an initial contraction to 27 331 т in 2019, the market expanded sharply to 35 175 т in 2020, then underwent alternating declines and recoveries in the following years. By 2024, the volume reached 32 727 т, slightly above the 2018 level of 31 267 т, indicating a period of instability without a clear long-term trend.

This fluctuating market volume was accompanied by a structural shift in supply. Domestic production entered a sustained decline, falling from 50 872 т in 2018 to 37 253 т in 2024. Concurrently, imports more than doubled from 6 705 т in 2021 to 12 965 т in 2024, playing an increasingly important role in meeting domestic demand. Exports gradually decreased over the period, freeing up additional product for the local market.

In value terms, the market exhibited a different pattern, reaching its peak of 89.9 million USD in 2023 despite volume fluctuations. The 2024 market value was 81.3 million USD. The divergence between volume and value movements points to changes within the market, such as shifts in product mix or pricing, over the observed period.
