Market Overview:

Frozen Fruits consist of high levels of vital vitamins and potentially useful antioxidants as compared to the fresh ones, and also help in protecting against the heart diseases. This is only because freezing sustains the products for prolonged periods without any additives and prevents any type of microbial growth that causes food spoilage.

Frozen Fruits are made from a procedure in which the eatables are primarily blanched, boiled, and then frozen considerably. They are conserved at a temperature usually below -9.5°C, at which all moisture is in the solid condition. This averts the advance of microorganisms, decelerates decomposition and in turn aids in keeping fruits fresh for a prolonged period of time.

Drivers and Restraints:

The growth of the Asia Pacific Frozen Fruits market is majorly driven by factors such as availability of an extensive range of frozen fruit products, hectic work schedule, shifting customer purchasing patterns, and growing urban population.

However, heavy presence of sodium and artificial preservatives in frozen foods, high price rates, and product quality are some of the factors hindering the growth of the market in this region.
