Global Fruit & Vegetable Processing Industry Data and Analysis
Global fruit and vegetable processors have steadily grown as a result of favorable consumer trends across the world. The growth in global disposable income has driven demand toward healthier and more convenient processed foods in developed countries such as the United States and the United Kingdom, where consumer trends have been slightly shifting. However, unlike the case for developed countries, this income growth has fomented demand for processed foods in developing countries like China. The industrialization of the industry in these countries has also improved distribution and production capacity to benefit the global industry. Overall, the industry has been growing at a CAGR of 2.9% over the past five years and is expected to total $370.2 billion in 2024, when revenue will climb to 3.5%.
