Mangosteen is one of the most sought after, rare fruits in the world. Mangosteen is a tropical tree whose scientific name of this fruit is Garcinia mangostana. The mangosteen is recorded to have originated in Indonesia and currently is grown in many areas in Southeast Asia such as Thailand, Philippines, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, and India, as well as some parts of Africa. The mangosteen, at very low temperatures of below 0 °C can die. This explains it being unfamiliar to the rest of the continents where the standard climate is cold. Natives in these regions refer mangosteen as the fruit of the gods or the queen of fruits because of its exclusivity. The mangosteen fruit is glossy, round, purple and is capped with a light green calyx which holds it in place on the stem. The outer peel or skin of the fruit is rubbery and thick. On the inside, these fruits are sweet, white-colored, segmented just like an orange and contains a number of seeds. Only the inner soft flesh is edible. The natural ingredient market is also showing healthy growth hence, the mangosteen market which is fragment of this is expected to flourish in coming years.

The mangosteen market is at a nascent stage and has significant potential to grow in the near future which can be attributed to the manifold properties of mangosteen.


Although the global market of exotic mangosteen fruit has numerous key driving factors, the one prime restraint is the short shelf life of mangosteen on the backdrop of which most retailers require overnight shipping. This results to be very expensive to the end users.

Higher volume of mangosteen products are sold online as compared to that of specialty stores or convenience stores owing to the increasing trend of the internet of things, increasing number of users using smart or connected devices, and also due to the convenience of purchasing products at the touch of the screen.
