The growing population of vegans and flexitarians is anticipated to drive the pineapple market's growth in the future. Vegans are individuals who completely avoid consuming animal products, including meat, dairy, and eggs, while flexitarians primarily follow a vegetarian diet but occasionally include meat or fish in moderation. The increasing numbers of vegans and flexitarians stem from concerns about animal welfare, health considerations, and the expanding availability of plant-based food options, leading to heightened demand for alternative agricultural products. Pineapples are valued in vegan and flexitarian diets for their versatility as a flavorful ingredient in both savory and sweet dishes, offering a tasty and plant-based option to cater to diverse culinary preferences. For instance, a report published by the United States Department of Agriculture in January 2023 indicated that nearly 8 million people in Germany adhered to a vegetarian diet, with 1.58 million identifying as vegan in 2022. Moreover, approximately 55% of the German population falls into the category of part-time vegetarians or flexitarians, underscoring a growing awareness regarding meat consumption. Thus, the increasing vegan and flexitarian population is fueling the pineapple market's expansion.
Leading companies in the pineapple market are concentrating on developing innovative products to meet evolving consumer preferences, such as red-shelled pineapples. Red-shelled pineapples are a distinct variety known for their vibrant red outer skin, while retaining the same sweet and tangy flavor as traditional yellow pineapples. For example, in January 2024, Del Monte Foods Inc., a US-based producer and distributor of canned fruits and vegetables, introduced the Rubyglow pineapple in China. This unique pineapple variety features a striking red outer skin, complemented by bright yellow flesh and a sweet flavor. Positioned as a high-end luxury novelty item due to its rarity and limited inventory, the Rubyglow pineapple is the result of over 15 years of development in Costa Rica, utilizing traditional crossbreeding techniques to combine traits from traditional Morada pineapples.
