Through a blend of primary data collected from consumers and secondary data from various publications, the research analyzes market trends and proposes strategic approaches to building brand awareness, fostering consumer loyalty, and increasing market share. The study also explores how new business can address consumer confusion related to sugar-infused dried fruits and position itself as a leader in the health-conscious snack segment.
