Coconut cream is a product which is similar to coconut milk but has less water content than coconut milk. The product can be diluted with water or used directly to make curries, sweets, desserts, puddings, and various other preparations. Coconut cream is used as an ingredient in bakery products and for flavoring food items. Chefs from all around the world are coming up with new recipes based on coconut cream and consumers who are enthusiastic about cooking are trying out these recipes. This is helping increase the demand for coconut cream around the globe.The top 5 countries (as mentioned in the graph below) contribute almost 90% of the global production of coconuts to the world. The coconut powder manufacturers in the US were initially sourcing their coconuts from Brazil. However, the demand for coconuts and their products increased gradually and exceeded supply. This compelled the companies to source their coconuts from Asia-Pacific (APAC). However, most of the coconut groves in APAC have coconut trees that are more than 50 years old, while the most productive period for coconut trees is between 10 and 30 years. Hence, the world is going to face an acute shortage of tender coconuts during the forecast period. This might lead to a huge problem for the growth of the global coconut cream market.

Guarana, which is one of the best alternatives to caffeine, is expected to generate a high demand during the forecast period owing to its many health benefits.

However, the market is also challenged by factors such as the high competition from other super food products like quinoa and chia seeds, limited production of guarana, and the side effects of these seeds. New product launches and clean product labeling are major emerging trends in the market, which will be accompanied by an increase in online purchase to drive the market during the forecast period.

If we look at the present market scenario, many manufacturers operating in this space are looking to improve their potato peeling and slicing equipment portfolio. Most manufacturers are aiming at providing appliances wherein the potatoes are moved relative to the appliance, which helps in complete removal of the peel. Many manufacturers offer potato peelers that have an option to mount potatoes for rotation. This setup is then rotated and moved axially against a peeling head.

Potatoes are one of the essential dietary staples in most of the regions all over the world. Also, potatoes are the fourth-most consumed food in the world after rice, wheat, and corn. Potatoes originated from the Lake Titicaca region of the Andean Mountains, which is located between Peru and Bolivia. As a crop, the potato was domesticated between 10,000 and 7,000 years ago to provide a stable food source for many cultures. The Incan people regarded potatoes as key to their food security because potatoes could be easily stored in dehydrated, freeze-dried, and fresh forms for consumption during times when other crops failed. It is known that the Incans introduced potatoes to Spanish explorers between 1532 and 1572, and thereafter their consumption spread rapidly across Europe.

Caviar is a luxury food item that is usually consumed as an appetizer. Traditionally, roefrom the wild sturgeon found in the Caspian and Black seas are termed caviar. The roe from other species of fish such as paddlefish, salmon, and others are considered substitutes of caviar. The main varieties of sturgeon that are harvested for caviar are Beluga, sterlet, Ossetra, and Sevruga. The fish eggs can be fresh or pasteurized.However, the pasteurized variety has lower economic as well as culinary value.Because of overfishing of sturgeon for caviar production, most species of the fish are becoming extinct and have been declared as endangered species or rated vulnerable in the IUCN Red List of endangered species. From 2006, there has been a ban on the trade of wild caviar. Owing to the ban imposed on the fishing of sturgeon, players in the market have resorted to aquaculture to develop sturgeon for caviar production. The players are also investing in developing new methods to extract caviar without killing the fish.

The market is also witnessing an increasing demand for feed enzymes.However, the irregular inspection by regulatory authorities of the mixing of feed by farmers acts as the major challenge for the market's growth.
