Orange juice market in Southern Asia

Earlier Report Observations

The unfermented orange juice market in Southern Asia saw substantial growth from 2018 to 2021, with market volume expanding from 129.2 million liters to 197.8 million liters. In value terms, the market rose from 192.4 million US dollars to 254.1 million US dollars over the same period, indicating increased consumption and higher prices.

A pronounced downturn began in 2022, as market volume dropped to 122.5 million liters and further to 105.2 million liters in 2023. This decline aligned with severe drought in Brazil—a key global orange supplier—which reduced harvests by 24% and disrupted supply chains, elevating costs and limiting availability. Concurrently, rising consumer interest in functional and fermented beverages within Southern Asia, driven by health and wellness trends, shifted demand away from traditional unfermented orange juice.
