Healthier and Sustainable Tomato Ketchup Options are Driving the Market Expansion

The expanding food and beverage industry is contributing to the increased consumption of tomato ketchup. However, with the growing health concerns, consumers are getting more mindful about the food they consume. As a result, they are opting for healthier food options that align with their dietary preferences. This has resulted in increasing demand for healthier versions of tomato ketchup. Consequently, manufacturers are emphasizing product innovation to create tomato ketchup with reduced salt and sugar content. Moreover, with the rising environmental concerns, market players are developing innovative products such as sustainable ketchup and sustainable packaging solutions in order to reduce plastic pollution. For example, in November 2018, the Rubble launched a new, sustainably sourced, and 100% natural Tomato Ketchup. The product was inspired by home-cooked family meals and was prepared from leftover pears that would otherwise have gone to waste. This aligns with the eco-conscious consumer preferences, which is increasing the consumption of tomato ketchup over the forecast period.
