The Frozen Fruits Market in India is expected to reaching $ 30.7 million by 2026

 Summer fruits such as watermelons, oranges, cantaloupes, honeydew melons, blackberries, raspberries, apples, figs, pears, apricots, peaches, and nectarines have gained popularity during the last several years. The culinary industry has advanced tremendously in recent decades as a result of the general public's exposure to the shifting fundamentals of food revolutions. Soon, this is projected to broaden the reach of frozen fruits. Increased demand for non-regional fruits is another important factor driving market expansion. People have become more familiar with the culture and lifestyle of different regions and counties as a result of the internet and media's availability.

Due to their expanded availability across all retail channels and rapid adoption among health-conscious customers, several regionally specialised food products have become worldwide popular. Humans consume around 2000 different types of fruits all across the world.

Many of these products' appeal is limited to a particular geographic location, but they have a big international following. As a result, these fruits are frozen again and then exported. As a result, demand for frozen versions of such products has been on the rise in recent years.

The global frozen fruits market was estimated at USD 3.32 billion in 2019, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.7 per cent predicted from 2020 to 2027.

The demand for frozen fruits has been increasing for a variety of reasons other than preservation. The most common fruit is the banana, which is grown in over 135 nations throughout the tropical and subtropical areas. According to the UN's Food and Agriculture Organization, 114 million tonnes of bananas were produced worldwide in 2017. Even though the enormous production ensures the availability of fresh bananas around the world, demand for frozen bananas is on the rise. Soft serve, milkshakes, chocolate-dipped frozen bananas, smoothies, ice creams, pops, fudgesicles, and baking brownies, waffles, and muffins are all made using them. Shortly, rising demand for the aforementioned prepared dishes or servings in the domestic and commercial sectors is likely to drive increasing frozen fruit consumption.

Frozen fruits are preferred over canned and dehydrated fruits since the former keeps the sensory characteristics as well as the nutritional components. The freezing science and technology are extremely important to the industry. Air-blast freezers, tunnel freezers, belt freezers, fluidized bed freezers, contact freezers, immersion freezers, liquid nitrogen freezers, and liquid carbon dioxide freezers are among the several freezing methods that use various equipment. Additionally, these items are packaged to prevent contamination and maintain nutrition, flavour, colour, and texture. Syrup packs, sugar packs, unsweetened packs, tray packs, and sugar substitution packs are some of the packaging options.

Frozen tropical fruits accounted for more than 40.0 per cent of total sales in 2019. Frozen papaya, pineapples, mangoes, coconuts, bananas, passion fruit, avocado, guava, nance, and mamey are among these fruits. Obstacles in production caused by bad weather have a favourable impact on demand for these crops. Companies have been forced to produce frozen variations to avoid supply problems due to rising demand. In recent years, the most popular frozen tropical fruits have been mango, pineapple, papaya, and avocado. These fruits are grown in India, Costa Rica, and Mexico, among other places.

The demand for frozen fruits can be met by brick and mortar stores with deep freezers and chest freezers. Supermarkets, supercenters, warehouse clubs, and convenience stores are examples.

As a result of the rising demand, governments all around the world have enacted legislation to regulate the market. In June 2017, the US Department of Agriculture issued a thorough Commodity Specification for Frozen Fruits, outlining the requirements that enterprises must meet in terms of product origin, kosher certification, packing season, container quantity, packaging, labelling, and shipment and delivery.
