Restraints/Challenges

• Competition from Synthetic Alternatives

Competition from synthetic alternatives, such as artificially produced vitamin C, poses a significant threat to the acerola extract market. Synthetic options often offer lower production costs and greater consistency in quality and supply, making them attractive alternatives. This competition can diminish demand for acerola extract as consumers and manufacturers may opt for more economical or readily available alternatives without considering the specific benefits of acerola-derived vitamin C.   

• Limited Self Life

The perishability of acerola cherries poses a significant challenge for the market. Their short shelf life post-harvest necessitates rapid processing and effective preservation techniques to prevent spoilage and maintain nutritional integrity. This constraint increases logistical complexities and costs throughout the supply chain, limiting distribution capabilities and potentially reducing overall market accessibility. Such challenges contribute to uncertainties in product availability and quality consistency, impacting consumer confidence and market growth prospects.
