The UAE grape marc market has been witnessing steady growth in recent years. Grape marc, also known as grape pomace, is the solid remains of grapes after the juice extraction process during winemaking. It primarily consists of grape skins, seeds, and stems. Grape marc is a valuable byproduct of the winemaking industry and finds various applications in the food, beverage, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. The UAE growing interest in sustainable practices, the rise in the consumption of wine and wine-related products, and the increasing awareness of grape marc`s potential as a source of valuable compounds have contributed to the rising utilization of grape marc in the country. Moreover, the demand for natural and environmentally friendly ingredients further drives the market`s expansion.
Several factors drive the growth of the grape marc market in the UAE. Firstly, the country`s increasing wine consumption, driven by the growing expatriate population and tourism, leads to a higher volume of grape marc production. The need for sustainable and responsible waste management practices in the winemaking industry has led to a greater focus on the potential applications of grape marc, such as in the production of grape seed oil, dietary supplements, and natural pigments. Secondly, the interest in natural and plant-based ingredients in various industries, including food and beverages, pharmaceuticals, and cosmetics, has created a demand for grape marc derivatives, which are rich in antioxidants and other bioactive compounds.
Despite the positive market trends, the UAE grape marc market faces certain challenges. One significant challenge is the perishable nature of grape marc, which requires proper handling and storage to prevent spoilage and maintain its quality for further processing. The transportation and storage logistics of grape marc can impact its usability in various applications. Additionally, the extraction and processing of valuable compounds from grape marc can be technically challenging and require specialized equipment and expertise.
The COVID-19 pandemic had a notable impact on various industries, including the UAE grape marc market. During the pandemic, disruptions in international trade and the temporary closure of hospitality and tourism establishments initially affected the demand for wine and, consequently, grape marc. However, the emphasis on sustainable and locally sourced ingredients during the pandemic encouraged the utilization of grape marc for value-added applications, such as in the production of nutraceuticals and natural cosmetics.
The UAE grape marc market is experiencing remarkable growth, driven by the country`s increasing focus on sustainable agriculture and utilization of winemaking byproducts. Grape marc, also known as pomace, is the residual solid material left after grapes are crushed for winemaking, and it can be repurposed for various applications. Key players leading this transformative market include food and beverage companies such as E. & J. Gallo Winery, Treasury Wine Estates, and Constellation Brands, Inc. These industry pioneers are actively finding innovative ways to utilize grape marc, such as in animal feed, composting, and the extraction of valuable compounds like grape seed oil and polyphenols. Additionally, local wineries and agricultural enterprises like Dubai-based Al Hamra Cellar and Abu Dhabi-based Khalifa Bin Hamad Al Nahyan Foundation for Agricultural Development are contributing to the market`s expansion, fostering domestic expertise in winemaking byproducts and supporting sustainable practices in the UAE`s agriculture sector. With the UAE`s vision for agricultural self-sufficiency and environmental preservation, the grape marc market is poised for even greater advancements, promoting circular economy principles and reducing food waste while tapping into the valuable potential of winemaking residues.
