The Global Grapefruit Market Is Witnessing More Demand than Ever Owing To the Health Benefits of the Fruits and Their Use in Commercial Products

 

Grapefruit Market

The grapefruit tree is the second most common fruit tree after the pomegranate. In its native Caribbean, the tree is grown mainly for the fruit it produces, which is juicy and sour like a grape. It is also the source of resin which is used in many types of cosmetics. It was once so popular that local women would use it as a contraceptive. Today the grapefruit is grown as a fruit tree for commercial production.

The grapefruit contains many important antioxidants, including two-thirds of the antioxidant group. The grapefruit contains twenty-one different anti-oxidants, including a variety of flavonoids and polyphenols. Most of the grapefruit contains fructose as a main source of energy but it contains significant amounts of non-fructose sugars and starches. Other important ingredients of the fruit are protein, Vitamins C and E, Potassium, and chlorophyll. These are creating more demand for grapefruit in the global grapefruit market. For instance, according to Healthline, a small grapefruit can contain 68.8 milligrams of vitamin C as well as 2270 micrograms of lycopene, another antioxidant. Moreover, grapefruit also helps in lowering risks of diseases such as type 2 diabetes, kidney stones and also improves the lipid levels in blood and blood pressure. These factors are augmenting the growth of the global grapefruit market.

One of the main characteristics of grapefruit which makes it healthy is that it has very high fiber contents. Since having high fiber makes it feel fuller, it is used by people to control their weight. As the grapefruit gets older, it releases more fiber, therefore making it easier to control one's weight. Grapefruit has a relatively small amount of calories and is considered to be very healthy. However, stringent government rules related to the consumption of grapefruit are the main retrain that is affecting the growth of the global grapefruit market negatively.

The production of grapefruit in North America is very high, in fact, it is one of the leading producers of grapefruit. Owing to this, the region is witnessing more demand in the grapefruit market. For instance, according to Pittman & Davis, the U.S. annually produces around 1.5 million tons of grapefruit, which is one-third of the world supply. Moreover, the rise of diseases and awareness regarding multiple natural and herbal remedies in the region are also creating constant propulsion in the global grapefruit market. Owing to all these factors, there have been some significant industrial developments in the global grapefruit market. For instance, in March 2021, Indeed Brewing introduced the first hard kombucha and has decided to launch a grapefruit hibiscus flavor of the kombucha next.
