Pineapple juice market in France

Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2023, the volume of the unfermented pineapple juice market in France fluctuated, peaking at 97.7 million liters in 2022 before declining to 90.7 million liters in 2023. The initial period saw a reversal of the previous downward trend, supported by recipe diversification that included pineapple in innovative fruit-and-vegetable blends. However, competition for raw materials from other crops and a weaker euro increased the cost of imported pineapple, affecting production expenses.

Market value growth was steady, rising from USD 98.4 million in 2018 to USD 148.8 million in 2023. This increase was largely driven by inflation, which raised raw material costs accounting for 60-80% of production expenses, as well as a shift in consumer preferences towards less sweet, original, and local products. The development of snacking in restaurants also supported juice consumption as a convenient alternative.

In 2023, the strategic return of Capri-Sun to the French market with pouch drinks and the launch of organic pineapple juices in eco-friendly packaging stimulated the premium and sustainable segment. Simultaneously, growing consumer sensitivity to quality, naturalness, and premiumization continued to push the market towards more expensive offerings, offsetting some volume contraction.
