The global fruit powder market is witnessing robust growth due to the growing demand for healthy and natural products. The fruit powder is derived from the fruits by subjecting them to dehydration or freeze-drying. The fruit powders retain all the phytonutrients, taste, and flavour of the fruits, which imparts intense taste, dense source of nutrients, and colour to the end products. They are widely incorporated in bakery, confectionery, and other processed and packaged foods to enhance their texture, flavour, nutrient profile, taste, and appearance. Apart from food products, these are also incorporated in cosmetics and personal care products due to their antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and soothing properties, which has positively impacted the market growth.

The fruit powders are scientifically proved to have various advantages in boosting overall health due to their high nutritional contents. This paves new opportunities for the manufacturers to develop new products incorporated with fruit powders for consumers seeking specific health benefits. For instance, in August 2019, Chaucer Foods Ltd. launched new freeze-dried fruit powders for the foodservice outlets to meet the increasing demand for healthy and natural ingredients.
