The processed segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022
The processed segment accounted for the largest market share in 2022. Segment’s growth can be largely accelerated due to its numerous beneficial characteristics, including longer shelf life, less space required, and more convenience to consumers compared to fresh or whole fruits. Apart from this, the rising applications of processed durian in different food products like cakes, desserts, ice cream, pastries, chips, candles, and chocolates, among others, and higher demand for durian flavored tea or coffee, driving its demand and sales globally.
The fresh segment is projected to exhibit a substantial growth rate during the forecast period on account of its unique flavor and creamy texture, attracting consumers seeking exotic and distinct taste experiences along with the presence of several beneficial nutrients in the fresh segment, including minerals, vitamins, and dietary fibers, making them a great and convenient option for health-conscious consumers all over the world.
The canned segment is expected to hold a significant market share over the study period.
The canned segment is projected to hold significant market share both in terms of volume and revenue over the study period, mainly due to their ability to eliminate the need to deal with messy processes, including peeling, deseeding, and handling, while allowing for the preservation of product flavor and nutritional qualities for a longer or extended period. Creative and appealing packaging designs of canned products could also enhance the attractiveness of canned durian products and can make them more appealing to consumers who value aesthetics.
With the surge in the global population getting concentrated in urban areas, access to fresh fruits, including durian, might be limited. Thereby, the adoption and need for canned durian are gaining huge traction, as they could offer a convenient option for urban dwellers to enjoy the original fruit taste without the need to find a source of fresh durian, which, in turn, has been propelling the growth of the segment market. According to the Department of Economic and Social Affairs, around 55% of the world’s total population is estimated to live in urban areas, and the number is expected to reach 68% by 2050. The global population is likely to add another 2.5 billion people to urban areas, out of which 90% are anticipated to take place in Asia and Africa.
The desserts & ice cream segment is projected to witness the highest growth in 2022.
The desserts & ice cream segment is projected to grow at the highest growth rate during the study period, mainly attributable to its unique and intense flavor and aroma, which makes the product a sought-after ingredient for creating unique desserts and ice creams along with the surge in number of consumers globally seeking for new and exotic flavors as well as taste experiences.
In addition, various companies in the food industry are adopting effective marketing and branding strategies to make durian-flavored ice creams and desserts more appealing to a broader audience and also focusing on highlighting the uniqueness of durian's flavor and aroma, which is likely to impact the segment market growth over the years positively.
Asia Pacific region dominated the global market in 2022
