Summary
The global fruit juice market, valued at 138.54 billion euros in 2022, is expected to grow at an average annual rate of 6.3% until 2030. Despite this expected growth, fruit juice consumption in France has fallen, with consumption rates dropping from 94.2% to 85.7% in 2023. This decline is mainly attributed to concerns about sugar and calorie content. The market is undergoing a transition with innovations and a focus on health, illustrated by the emergence of concentrated fruit juice shots and fruit-based energy drinks.
The French market, valued at 1.9 billion euros by 2023, is dominated by private labels and well-established brands such as Tropicana. The organic juice segment has grown significantly, capturing a market share of 8 points in 12 years, despite an overall decline in organic consumption in France.
In terms of foreign trade, France's fruit juice trade balance has seen a sharp drop in coverage rates, falling to less than 40% by 2022, with the Netherlands and the USA standing out as important trading partners.
The French fruit juice market is mainly served by supermarkets and hypermarkets, holding a 63% market share by volume in 2022. Innovation continues, with healthier offerings, reduced sugar content and sustainable packaging initiatives shaping the market's future.
Fruit juice market trends and consumer preferences in France
In the dynamic landscape of the French fruit juice market, changing consumer trends and preferences are driving demand for healthier beverage options. Although in decline in recent years, fruit juice consumption in France remains an important segment, particularly among young people. More than three quarters of children aged 3 to 14 are regular consumers, representing a substantial share of the market and suggesting potential for stabilization and growth in the years ahead. This is particularly relevant given the marginal increase in the young population in France, coupled with the notable rise in the older population, from around 10 million to almost 15 million.
Breakfast remains an essential part of the French diet, with over 50% consuming fruit juices as part of their morning routine. Public health concerns about the sugar and calorie content of fruit juices have contributed to this decline, but the market has responded with innovations such as concentrated fruit juice shots and energy drinks, targeting health-conscious consumers.
The French market is also experiencing an explosion in demand for smoothies and products with added health benefits. These trends are not without their challenges: the sugar content of fruit juices aimed at children is coming under increasing scrutiny, prompting brands to look for sugar-reduced options in their product offering.
Faced with changing consumer habits and preferences, the French fruit juice market presents a complex picture of opportunity, innovation and revitalization, with leading brands like Tropicana seeking to maintain their position by adapting to the changing landscape with new products and marketing strategies.
In the ever-changing world of fruit juices, several brands have established themselves as household names, each painting a vivid picture of the sector's colorful tapestry. These companies don't just set trends, they also respond to consumer demands, from purely squeezed juices to innovative blends that are gaining in popularity.
The following brands have firmly established themselves in the fruit juice market thanks to a combination of quality products, strategic positioning and an understanding of consumer preferences.
- Tropicana: A heritage brand appreciated by consumers, Tropicana enjoys a reputation for innovation and a sincere relationship with its customers. Having introduced techniques such as flash pasteurization, Tropicana continues to demonstrate its dedication to quality. With new offerings such as Samba, Bollywood and Salsa flavors, the brand is rejuvenating itself and seeking to charm the younger generation with its joie de vivre.
- Innocent: Known for its playful brand image and health-conscious options, Innocent has captured a significant share of the smoothie market. The brand is not only the segment leader, but has expanded its range to include super smoothies, aimed at those seeking nourishing and invigorating options.
- Andros: Renowned for its versatile approach to the fruit-based segment, Andros has established itself with its Bonne Maman and Andros brands. Their presence in the ultra-fresh market testifies to their commitment to freshness and quality, key attributes that consumers have come to expect from Andros products.
- PepsiCo: Parent company of Tropicana, PepsiCo is a giant in the beverage industry. Moving away from its iconic soda offering, PepsiCo has embraced the health and wellness trend with Tropicana, enabling it to reach a wider, more health-conscious audience.
- Coca-Cola: With its stake in the Innocent brand, Coca-Cola brings its significant marketing prowess and distribution capabilities to the table. The company's entry into the smoothies and juices market is a strategic move to diversify its portfolio beyond soft drinks.
- Pago: Although not as widely appreciated by all demographics, Pago still occupies a prime position in the French fruit juice market. With its unique flavor profiles and upmarket positioning, Pago appeals to niche consumers looking for products that stand out from the crowd.
Behind these big names, many other players, including local brands and private labels, offer a range of fruit juices to suit a wide range of consumer tastes and preferences.

1 Market overview
1.1 Definition and scope of study
Fruit juice is defined as a liquid or beverage made by pressing or crushing fruit. It can be totally natural (100% fruit-based) or produced by blending fruit, water and other chemical substances in a factory. As a result, the market is segmented into 4 main categories:
- Pure juices : these are fruit juices made entirely from pressed fruit, with no added carbohydrates or additives
- Smoothies: drinks based on fruit purées with no other additives.
- Juices from concentrate : these are fruit juices made from concentrated juices and water. The main purpose of concentration is to improve and simplify juice transport, storage and preservation.

Worldwide, the market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.3% until 2030.
