ANAHEIM, Calif., March 7, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Coombs Family Farms, a division of Bascom Maple Farms — the trusted source and supplier of 100% pure and organic maple syrup and maple sugar — is exhibiting at the 2024 Natural Products Expo West (NPEW), on March 12-16 in Anaheim, California. Visitors to NPEW booth #1934 can learn more about Coombs Family Farms' high-quality maple products offering sweet and savory taste along with the nutritional and functional benefits and natural, sustainable qualities that modern consumers are seeking.
"We are excited to be at Natural Products Expo West where we are showcasing our natural, organic and clean label sweetening and flavor solutions with this year's attendees," said Arnold Coombs, Executive Director of Sales and Marketing, Bascom Maple Farms and Coombs Family Farms. "Our maple syrup and maple sugar can provide the natural and sustainable sweetness—and flavor—consumers want to experience in today's food and beverage applications, such as bakery, confectionery, and dairy products."
Maple syrup is a sweet spot in today's marketplace, and the numbers prove it. The market is projected to have a 10% compound annual growth rate (CAGR) from 2023–2030, according to Market IQ Hub's Maple Syrup Market: Challenges, Opportunities, and Growth Drivers and Major Market Players forecast.
The market research firm attributes this growth to a variety of factors, including:
- Increasing consumer preference for natural and organic sweeteners
- Rising global demand for healthier alternatives to artificial sweeteners
- Expanding popularity of plant-based and vegan diets, along with awareness of the health benefits associated with maple syrup
- Growing popularity of maple syrup as a versatile key ingredient in various food and beverage applications and as a flavor enhancer in the foodservice industry
Indeed, consumers are gravitating toward familiar sweeteners with names they can pronounce. Maple's familiarity has helped to drive its popularity, with 28% of consumers reporting using maple syrup in the last month, according to Mintel's U.S. 2022 Sugars and Alternative Sweeteners report. Beyond this wholesome sweetness, consumers are hungry for natural products. According to International Food Information Council's 2023 Food & Health Survey, 40% of consumers say that they regularly buy products labeled as 'natural.' Additionally, 44% say it is important for them to know that food they purchase was produced using farming technologies that seek to reduce the impact on natural resources.
"At Coombs Family Farms, eight generations of our family have provided certified organically sourced 100% pure maple syrup to retailers and manufacturers. Maple is one of the least processed sweeteners available, high in antioxidants and full of nutritious minerals. We have always believed in the goodness of nature and are committed to producing high-quality maple and protecting our forests," said Coombs. "We look forward to sharing how our products keep consumers coming back for more, and also help to support a healthier and more sustainable society, as we maintain environmentally friendly, socially responsible, and sustainable maple sugaring practices at our farms."
