Fruit Pomace Global Market Report 2026

Fruit pomace is the solid residue left after the extraction of juice or oil from fruits. This byproduct comprises the skins, seeds, and pulp of the fruit. Rich in dietary fiber, antioxidants, and various bioactive compounds, pomace is a valuable resource for food processing, animal feed, and the creation of functional ingredients.

The primary products in the fruit pomace market include powder, pellets, and other forms. Fruit pomace powder is a fine powder derived from the byproducts of fruit processing, particularly the residual pulp, skins, and seeds remaining after juice extraction or the production of items such as wine. The sources of pomace include apples, citrus fruits, bananas, berries, grapes, mangoes, and others, available in both organic and conventional forms. Various applications for fruit pomace encompass dairy products, food processing, edible oils and fats, animal feed, biofuel production, cosmetics and personal care products, pectin production, and more. Distribution channels include both offline and online options.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs are impacting the fruit pomace market by increasing the cost of imported fruit, processing machinery, drying technologies, and packaging materials, thereby raising production costs for manufacturers of pomace-based powders, pellets, and extracts. Segments dependent on imported raw materials such as citrus, grape, and berry pomace are most affected, particularly in regions with large-scale fruit processing industries in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. However, tariffs can also encourage domestic fruit sourcing, promote local processing infrastructure, and stimulate innovation in value-added pomace applications to reduce reliance on imported inputs.

This trend is driven by rising consumer awareness of the health, environmental, and sustainability benefits associated with plant-based diets. Fruit pomace contributes significantly to plant-based food products by improving nutritional content, adding dietary fiber, and supporting sustainable production practices. For example, in 2024, the French retail market for five categories of plant-based foods reached $585 million (€537 million), according to the Good Food Institute, a US-based non-profit organization, reflecting an 8.8% increase from 2023 and a 20.5% rise from 2022. Thus, the growing interest in plant-based foods is propelling the expansion of the fruit pomace market.

Leading companies in the fruit pomace market are increasingly focusing on innovative approaches, such as AI-driven upcycling platforms, to convert food byproducts into high-value functional ingredients. These AI-powered platforms use machine learning algorithms to analyze byproducts like fruit pomace and identify valuable compounds that can be repurposed into functional ingredients, reducing waste, shortening R&D cycles, and generating sustainable, high-value products. For instance, in July 2025, 2nd Nature, a UK-based clean ingredient solutions company, launched the AgWaste Portal-an AI platform designed to optimize the upcycling of food processing leftovers into functional ingredients. The platform extracts functional compounds, enhances sustainability, decreases R&D time, and supports industries including food and beverage, personal care, and health and wellness. Its ability to identify novel molecules from inedible parts of fruits, cereals, and vegetables allows for improved formulations with higher nutritional value, aligning with circular economy principles.

In July 2024, Alvinesa Natural Ingredients, a Spain-based company specializing in plant ingredients, acquired Chilean Industrias Vinicas and Argentine Dervinsa for an undisclosed amount. This acquisition allows Alvinesa to access high-quality raw materials from the Southern Hemisphere, where grape harvest seasons align with those in the Northern Hemisphere.
