Driving factor
Increasing Adoption of Superfoods to Drive Growth
Growing health awareness among consumers is driving them to add more functional foods or superfoods to their diet. For instance, according to a survey report published by Datassential in 2019, over 56% of adults have shown an inclination toward superfoods for good health. This rapidly surging trend is driving the global apple cider vinegar market growth. In addition, various enterprises are developing innovative food products using the substance as the key ingredient.

The increasing adoption of such products will further boost the demand.
However, prolonged consumption of AVC could lead to health issues such as tooth decay and acidity. For instance, Dr. Robert H.
