Açaí is one of the Brazilian fruits that has most successfully expanded into the international market, and Mexico is rapidly becoming one of the most promising destinations for this Amazonian superfood. With a growing audience focused on health, wellness, and conscious consumption, the country opens its doors to functional, high value-added products—such as the açaí sorbet produced by Açaí Town.

Growth of Açaí Consumption in Mexico

According to recent reports, including analyses by Grand View Research, the Mexican açaí berry market is expected to grow at an average rate of approximately 7% per year between 2025 and 2030.

This growth follows a global trend highlighted by institutions such as Embrapa, 6Wresearch, NMT – Notícias de Mato Grosso, and climate data from Meteored.mx, reinforcing the increasing demand for natural and functional foods in warm-climate regions.

This rise in consumption is directly linked to the numerous nutritional benefits of açaí, widely recognized for being rich in:

• Antioxidants
• Vitamin C
• Fiber
• Healthy fats

As a key element in the superfoods market, açaí appeals to consumers seeking flavor, performance, and nutrition in a single product.

Açaí’s Entry into the Mexican Market

In Mexico, açaí stands out particularly within the functional foods segment, aligned with the expansion of the healthy lifestyle. Young and adult consumers increasingly seek natural, nutrient-rich options that offer benefits beyond satiety—something açaí delivers exceptionally well.

The fruit also aligns with preferences for exotic, sustainable, and responsibly sourced ingredients, enabling premium positioning for brands that value quality and socio-environmental responsibility.

That açaí has become a global trend is no longer news. This Brazilian fruit has conquered the world and is now present in several countries, attracting consumers thanks to its versatility and nutritional attributes. Among these destinations, Italy stands out as a growing market, full of room for expansion and excellent investment opportunities.

The presence of açaí in Italy

Açaí can already be found in major Italian cities such as Milan, Rome, and Florence. In these regions, it mainly appears in bowl shops and gelaterias, two strong segments in terms of consumption and openness to innovation.

On the other hand, açaí’s presence in supermarkets is still limited, creating a strategic window for companies that want to position themselves ahead of the market’s expansion.

Why does açaí match the Italian consumer?

The product is perfectly aligned with current consumption trends in Italy:

• Healthy
• Energizing
• Natural
• Vegan

In addition, Italian consumers show strong interest in:

• Exotic products
• Berries and superfoods
• Tropical ingredients

Açaí also attracts American, Portuguese, and Spanish tourists, who are already familiar with the fruit, as well as consumers focused on wellness, lightness, and functional nutrition.

Açaí in gelaterias: a competitive advantage

For Italian gelaterias, açaí represents a unique opportunity. It allows menu expansion without losing the artisanal identity, attracts new customers, increases average ticket value, and helps reduce seasonality during winter.

It also stands out visually, strengthening brand presence on social media. In addition, the operation is simple and the product offers high margins.

In Italy, açaí can be used in different preparations, such as:

• Açaí as a topping or blended into gelato
• Açaí semifreddo (creamier texture)
• Smoothies
• Bowls

As few gelaterias currently offer açaí, early adopters gain a competitive advantage, modernize their image, and deliver a tropical and innovative experience to customers.

Açaí Town and its export mission

Açaí Town is committed to taking Brazilian açaí to the world, supporting companies that wish to operate in international markets.

We provide full support for safe, compliant, and efficient exports, including guidance to meet regulations such as EU Regulation 1169/2011, which addresses food information provided to consumers.

Whether for supermarkets, distributors, gelaterias, or food brands, our team supports every stage—from documentation to logistics—ensuring your product arrives at its destination with quality and compliance.

Cupuaçu is a truly Brazilian fruit and one of the most iconic symbols of the Amazon. Used for centuries by Indigenous peoples, who valued its unique flavor and medicinal properties, the fruit carries its identity in its very name:
kupu = “similar to cacao”
uasu = “large.”

With its acidic, sweet-and-sour, and highly aromatic flavor, cupuaçu has gained recognition both inside and outside Brazil. In cream or sorbet form, it has won over consumers looking for something refreshing, natural, and exotic. Its growing popularity mirrors the early rise of açaí, another Amazonian fruit that became a global phenomenon.

Benefits of Cupuaçu

Cupuaçu stands out not only for its flavor but also for being a highly nutritious and functional food, reinforcing its potential as a superfood. Its main benefits include:

Vitamins C, A, and B complex, which strengthen the immune system.

Antioxidants, which combat free radicals and promote cellular health.

Selenium and calcium, essential for strong bones and balanced metabolism.

A digestive effect, supporting healthy intestinal function.

Traditional Indigenous use, recognized for relieving abdominal pain and improving overall vitality.

These attributes position cupuaçu as an ideal ingredient for global trends centered on wellness, natural foods, and functional nutrition.

A Growing Market

Today, cupuaçu generates over 20 million dollars per year in Brazil, driven mainly by the increasing production of pulp, creams, and sorbets, sectors that have grown between 2.49% and 2.79% from 2020 to 2022.

International expansion is still underway, but its trajectory resembles that of açaí, which took around 10 to 15 years to reach global popularity.
With its unique flavor, strong functional appeal, and connection to Amazon biodiversity, cupuaçu has everything it needs to follow the same path and become the next worldwide favorite.

Açaí Town and the Export of Cupuaçu

Just as we do with açaí, Açaí Town is ready to bring cupuaçu to the international market. Our team provides complete support for companies and distributors interested in adding the fruit to their product lines, including:

A safe and fully compliant export process

Guidance aligned with international standards

We are committed to strengthening the global presence of Amazonian fruits, and cupuaçu is the next major step in this mission.

At Açaí Town, besides our traditional açaí, we also offer the zero-sugar option! And this brings up a lot of questions from customers. Many people associate “zero” products with low-calorie or weight-loss foods, but when it comes to açaí, the story is a little different.

To clear up the confusion, we prepared this guide explaining the differences between traditional açaí and zero açaí.

What’s the difference between them?

Traditional Açaí

In our traditional recipe, we use:

• Our exclusive guaraná blend
• A small amount of sugar

These ingredients help enhance the flavor and maintain the creamy texture of the sorbet.

Even then, sugar is not the main source of sweetness, which is why the taste difference between traditional and zero is much smaller than people imagine.

Zero Sugar Açaí

In the zero version, we don’t add refined sugar or guaraná syrup, making it a great option for those who want to:

• Avoid glucose spikes
• Reduce simple sugar intake
• Prefer more natural products

But that doesn’t mean zero-sugar açaí is automatically low-calorie or a weight-loss food.

Is zero açaí lower in calories?

This is one of the biggest myths.

Even without added sugar, açaí is naturally an energetic fruit because it contains healthy fats such as omega-6 and omega-9.

So:
The calorie value doesn’t change much since the natural fat from the fruit is still there.

Who is Zero Açaí for?

The zero version was made for:

• People with sugar restrictions
• Those who want to reduce syrups and sweeteners
• Consumers who want a more natural option
  without losing flavor

Our goal is to offer a version highly similar to the traditional one, maintaining:

• The same quality
• The same creaminess
• And the same flavor of our sorbets

Açaí Town: flavor and quality for every lifestyle

Here, you’ll find products developed with responsibility, technical expertise and focus on the customer experience. Whether traditional or zero sugar, we guarantee amazing flavor, creamy texture and premium ingredients.
