El trabajo de investigación tiene como objetivo determinar las características del mercado potencial del vinagre de frutas en el Ecuador, en la zona 3, provincias de Tungurahua, Cotopaxi Chimborazo y Pastaza en el Ecuador y establecer la factibilidad de creación de una empresa para generar valor agregado mediante la transformación de frutas producidas en la provincia de Tungurahua, como la manzana (Malus domestica), claudia (Prunus domestica), mora (Rubus glaucus Benth) y tomate de árbol (Solanum betaceum) y que actualmente no tienen un proceso industrial. Se realiza un estudio documental, descriptivo y empírico. Para el estudio de la demanda se aplica una encuesta a 383 personas; y para la oferta, a los productores. En la investigación se concluye que en el mercado local existe limitada producción de vinagre y el mismo es importado en grandes cantidades y ofrecido en el mercado ecuatoriano con aditamentos que permiten disfrutar el sabor a frutas en el vinagre, mientras que el vinagre obtenido de frutas se ofrece en pequeñas cantidades. Se realizó un análisis económico y financiero para determinar si el proyecto es factible y genera rentabilidad. Palabras clave: Malus domestica, Prunus domestica, Residuos agroindustriales.
