Juice Production in the UK industry analysis

The UK juice production industry has experienced substantial instability over the last five years, resulting in large ups and downs. The industry must endure severe input price swings due to suppliers’ price sensitivity to external shocks, particularly weather. Additionally, the cost-of-living crisis weighed heavily on revenue in 2023-24, as skyrocketing inflation rates surged input prices and forced downstream consumers to cut back on non-essential spending on beverages like juice. The rising popularity of health trends has helped to soften the blow and provide a slight rebound for the industry in 2024-25.

Trends and Insights

  • Healthier choices fuel demand for juice. Surging health consciousness has driven consumers towards healthier, low-calorie beverages causing juice producers to adapt their offerings in line with the emerging trends.
  • Skyrocketing orange prices stifle orange juice sales. Rising raw orange costs, driven by reduced harvests due to citrus greening disease, have hiked orange juice prices, curbing its demand and revenue.
  • London attracts juice firms with rich consumer potential. It offers a large populace, potentially lifting labour resources and providing an immediate market and is home to significant supermarket headquarters.
  • The juice market offers unexplored niches. While traditional juices like orange and apple are widespread, there is considerable scope for innovation, with health-related and vitamin-enriched products offering the potential for differentiation.

Trends and Insights

Ever-growing health consciousness supports demand for juice production

  • Households have increasingly been looking for healthier, low-calorie drinks as health consciousness climbs. Key players in the market have updated their products to match this growing health sentiment among UK consumers. Tropicana launched Tropicana Lean in 2020, which contained 40% less sugar and calories than other juices. In 2024, Naked, owned by the Tropicana Products Group, launched Naked Lower Sugar Smoothies, advertised as offering 50% lower sugar. In PepsiCo’s 2021 annual report, they stated how the Tropicana and Naked juice businesses contributed approximately $3 billion (£2.18 billion) in net revenue in 2021, demonstrating these brands’ value.

Trends and Insights

Awareness of the health risks of diet soft drink alternatives provides optimism for fruit juice’s future

  • In July 2023, the World Health Organization classified the sweetener aspartame as “possibly carcinogenic to humans”. Aspartame is frequently used in one of the juice industry's largest competitors – diet soft drinks. As health-orientated consumers become even more focused on the functional benefits of the food and beverages they consume, this will become a point of consideration. The ingredients in diet soft drinks may push consumers to seek to enhance their consumption with the specific nutritional benefits juices can bring. This damages the health image of diet drinks with aspartame, which is likely to cause health-conscious consumers to substitute them, possibly buying fruit juice instead, boosting industry revenue.
