The high demand for processed vegetables encourages new entrants, increasing competition. The fragmented market structure poses challenges in implementing standardization and integration of technologies. Distributors and private-label vendors often outsource production to third-party manufacturers due to the difficulty of maintaining standardized manufacturing technology. These factors, including the threat from unorganized players and intense competition, may hinder the growth of the global processed vegetable market.
