Market Restraints
Limited access to raw materials because the availability of apple is the biggest challenge these days and farmers are facing various challenges in the farming of apple because of the uncertainty of climate and natural disasters. Moreover, the production of apple require lots of water, which is also a major concern among farmers. Hence, limited availability of apples is acting as major challenges in expansion of business. This factor is expected to hamper the market growth of apple concentrate.
Oxidation is a major factor that impacts the production of apple concentrate. Oxidation is caused due to polyphenol oxidase which is present in apple and it can be avoided by the heating process at the industrial level. But this can increase the cost of the overall production. Moreover, additional efforts are needed to be made in order to produce apple concentrate without oxidation which is highly dangerous for human health. This factor is projected to curb market growth over the forecast period.

Market Dynamics
The demand for natural sugars has increased as customers become more aware of the added sugar in food. The competitors in the international market have moved their attention to sugar that is naturally sourced, such as sugar made from fruit concentrates or deionized fruit juice. In bakery goods, concentrated sugar is thought to be a healthy alternative to refined white sugar. Additionally, it prolongs the moistness of the baked goods. Apple juice concentrate offers a large number of nutrients and releases into the bloodstream more slowly than refined sugar, in contrast. Thus, it is expected that over the forecast period, the worldwide apple juice concentrate market will increase due to the increasing use of apple juice concentrate as a substitute for refined sugar in baking and confectionery goods.
Whereas, due to the rising demand for cold-pressed juices and juices not from concentrate (NFC), it is expected to see a slowdown in the growth of the global apple juice concentrate market. Compared to pasteurized fruit and vegetable juices, these liquids are healthier. Juices that have been cold-pressed have a lengthy shelf life and can therefore be easily transported across great distances. Additionally, growing R&D expenditures have resulted in the development of new cold-pressed juice product lines, as well as novel flavor, packaging, and specialty ingredient types, which have drawn more customers to the category. The demand for NFC juices is being driven by the rising awareness of natural food items, and this trend is expected to last during the forecast period.
