Nowadays, consumers are becoming more aware of the benefits of açaí, particularly in the use of açaí products in the production of organic cosmetics. Açaí products are rich in vitamins A, C, and E, and help in skin regeneration. Additionally, açaí has numerous benefits for the skin, which is why it is used in various products such as anti-aging creams.
The report, titled “Acai Berry Market: Global Industry Analysis & Opportunity Assessment, 2016-2026,” estimates that in 2016, over 300,000 tons of açaí products were sold worldwide. The study predicts an impressive increase in global consumption of açaí products, expecting global sales to exceed 1 million tons by the end of 2026. Besides the growing use of açaí in the production of organic cosmetics, the report also notes that the robust nutritional content of açaí products has helped them gain applicability in the production of protein drinks and other beverages. The report forecasts that, in the coming years, the demand for açaí pulp will be considerably higher than for dried açaí. The higher nutritional content of açaí pulp will help it capture over 80% of global açaí sales throughout the forecast period.
According to the report, the largest market for açaí is expected to be Latin America. With over 55% market share, Latin America will dominate global açaí sales by the end of the forecast period. Acai Frooty, based in Brazil, is among the key players in the global açaí market. Companies based in the USA are also profiled in the report as active participants in the global açaí market. Due to the dense presence of açaí manufacturers based in the USA in the global market, North America is also expected to be at the forefront of global market growth.
