Keeping up with consumer demands

The demand for bottled and carton fruit juice drinks without any added sugar or colouring has exploded over the past year as consumers are looking to make more healthy drink choices. This is a great opportunity for established drink manufacturers and new entrepreneurs to bring new fruit-based drinks to market to consumers looking for healthy fruit-based, immune-boosting drinks.
For well-established drink manufacturers, it can be quite a straightforward thing to create a new drink that ticks all the boxes that consumers are looking for. However, for new entrepreneurs, there is a lot to think about, such as health regulations, juice shelf life, packaging, delivery, and more.
Before you can strike out with your new drink or range of healthy drinks, you need to partner up with a trustworthy and reliable fruit juice supplier, such as JC Dudley, so you can ensure a consistent supply of high-quality fruit juice and other base ingredients for your drinks.

Working with the best fruit juice supplier

While you may be working on a tight budget to bring a new juice drink to market, always remember that quality is your priority. You should never sacrifice quality just because you are trying to cut costs. Your end customers will quickly switch to another brand if they don't like the quality of your drink.

Your fruit juice ingredients will be the heart of your product, so by working with JC Dudley you will be guaranteed only the best quality, sustainably sourced fruit juice ingredients.

With fruit and vegetable juice sales rocketing around the world, JC Dudley is well-positioned to help anyone looking for a specialist juice supplier for their food or drink business.
Juices are enjoying a faster sales growth than any other food and drink sector in the UK, while at the same time sales of beer are experiencing a slump in sales.

The popularity of fruit juice drinks has risen due to the desire for more healthy drinks. Sales of fruit and vegetable juices have risen by 17% since 2018, according to Santander’s analysis of the latest ONS Prodcom data.
​
The younger generation is driving the increasing demand for juice drinks with more than half of 16-24-year-olds drinking juice drinks at least once a day, with smoothie sales rising the fastest. According to sales data, people spent £112m on smoothies alone in 2018, and smoothie sales are still on the rise today.

Reliable juice supplier

With the sales of beer dropping in the UK to their lowest level in ten years, many drinks manufacturers are responding to changing tastes and demands for healthy drink alternatives.
Food and drink remain the largest UK manufacturing sector, reporting sales of over £71.8bn each year, and the UK is widely seen as a global leader in new food and drink product innovation.

With these huge shifts in consumer buying habits and a growing interest from the younger generation for vegan food and drink alternatives and more people following healthy juice and smoothie diets, many traditional foods and drink manufacturers are now switching their production towards products with more fruit-based ingredients, including the development of new fruit and vegetable juice drink ranges.

With manufacturers needing to respond quicker than ever to create and develop new products to meet with customer demand, sourcing their ingredients through a reliable juice supplier is critical.
JC Dudley is well-positioned to help food and drink manufacturers with our reliable, high-quality and sustainability sourced fruit and vegetable juice products through our network of long-term international growers and business partners.

Fruit juice concentrates

JC Dudley supplies a range of fruit and vegetable juices including fruit concentrates. Fruit concentrate is made by squeezing fresh fruit into juice, usually by a method of crushing the juice or by low-temperature vacuum concentration, and then evaporating out part of the water content of the fruit juice leaving behind a concentrated juice.

The fruit and vegetable juice concentrate market is expected to continue to grow due to the rising demand for healthy food and drink products but also growing concerns about food safety.
From a manufacturers point of view, it is cheaper to purchase and transport juice concentrates than fresh juice. Also, it is much more convenient to transport and handle juice concentrates because of the reduced weight and the way they are packaged.

With more consumers looking to buy healthy non-alcoholic drinks, the pressure on soft drink producers to source high quality and unadulterated fruit and vegetable juice concentrate has never been greater. This growing demand is expected to promote the growth of the juice market, making it even more important to establish a good working relationship with a reliable and trustworthy juice supplier, such as JC Dudley.

If you are looking for a sustainable supply ofNFC fruit juices, we can supply you with everything from apple, orange and grape, to more unusual flavours such as chokeberry, goji and yuzu.
We supply a wide range of fruit juice concentrates as well as ready-preparedfruit purees andvegetable juices and purees.

Sourcing Natural Juice with no added sugar from a trusted fruit juice supplier. These days, drinks manufacturers understand the importance of working with a commercial fruit juice supplier that can supply them with a consistent source of natural, no-added-sugar, juice ingredients for their drink products.
​

The tide is turning in the soft drinks sector as consumers are increasingly moving away from hi-sugar, fruit flavoured drinks in favour of more natural alternatives using fruit juice with no added sugar or artificial flavourings, preservatives and colouring.
 
For a long time now, restauants have been offering healthier food and drink options for their more health-conscious diners, providing healthy side salads and fruit-based desserts instead of chips and stodgy puddings.
 
They are offering more fruit juices drink options instead of sugar-laden fizzy drinks with their children's menus, as well as fruit smoothies to help kids get their 'five-a-day'.
 

​Smoothies and juicing for health
Over the past few years, a growing trend for drinking smoothies and juicing fruit and vegetables at home has taken the health world by storm.
 
The rise in demand from consumers for a healthy and convenient on-the-go source of nutrition has led to drinks manufacturers creating a whole new range of natural, fruit-based drinks that will appeal to adults with little time to spend shopping for fresh ingredients and making smoothies or juicing fresh drinks every morning.
 
Creating drinks for the more discerning customer
While the idea of being able to simply shop for a ready-made fresh-fruit smoothie or juice drink is very appealing, especially for time-strapped adults and busy parents, when customers take a closer look at some of the drinks on offer, they will find a juice drink that is made with commercial fruit juice or concentrates that are not as healthy as they first think.
 
Many commercial drinks manufacturers will use fruit juice blends with added sugars, sweeteners and artificial colourings. However, these days of savvy health-conscious consumers, these ingredients can be off-putting because the customer will see their health being compromised and see no benefit in drinking them.
 
The high sugar, high-fructose and artificial ingredient content of ready-made drinks can make them unhealthy and can increase the risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and liver disease.
 
When less is more
However, when you source your supplies through a trusted fruit juice supplier such as JC Dudley, you can buy a consistent, high-quality source of fruit juice that can make the base of your drink without any added sugar, artificial sweeteners or colourings.
 
Our modern techniques can deliver you with a shelf-stable range of fruit-based products that are ideal for producing smoothies or fruit-juice drinks for the more discerning consumer that are looking for minimal ingredients in their healthy drinks.
 
JC Dudley also produces a high-quality range of fruit-based ingredients suitable for cocktails, healthy fruit desserts and other food and drink items.
 
High-quality ingredients, ethically sourced
​Made from 100% naturally grown fruit, our fruit juice concentrates and bases contain no artificial colours, flavourings or preservatives. We source directly from our chain of growers, helping to support their business ethically and sustainably to ensure they thrive and grow.
 
Our unique processing techniques mean that we can supply fruit-based ingredients that deliver maximum nutritional value full of vitamins, antioxidants, electrolytes and minerals.
 
JC Dudley is a family business that specialises in supplying food and drink manufacturers with a wide variety of cost-effective, healthy, natural ingredients that would be difficult, if not impossible, to source elsewhere.
