Processed Fruits and Vegetables Market Size
The global processed fruits and vegetables market was valued at USD 377.3 billion in 2024, with expectations to reach USD 698.6 billion by 2034, growing at a CAGR of 6.3%.
Processed fruits and vegetables refers to fruits and vegetables that underwent some form of canning, drying, freezing, or minimal processing for the sake of preserving the foods for a longer period. This market is developing due to the shift in the preference of the consumers towards more convenient, nutritious, and superlative food products.
As people become more urbanized, there is a greater demand for simplistic and convenience cuisine, and this phenomenon is one of the leading aspects supporting the growth of the processed fruits and vegetables market. Fruits and vegetables that are instantly consumable or can be easily cooked are now preferred. The rise in processing methods, such as vacuum frying and high-pressure processing (HPP) also bolster this trend. Unlike other methods, these approaches preserve the natural taste, texture, and nutrients while extending shelf life, and address the most concerning issue regarding processed foods – nutrition.
In addition, the growth of the cold supply chain logistics is also pertinent for improving quality of frozen and refrigerated processed fruits and vegetables. Better temperature-controlled storage and transport infrastructure reduces post-harvest losses and preserves product freshness, which is useful for the global supply chain.
In 2024, the United States exported 2.1 million metric tons of processed vegetables, according to the USDA Foreign Agricultural Service.
Processed Fruits and Vegetables Market Trends
According to National Institute of Health, factors such as general health consciousness, sustainability, ethical consideration of animal farming, cultural practice, and even religion are some of the reasons that have contributed to the adoption of a plant-based diet. This shift has led marketers to upgrade their processed fruit and vegetable products by adding functional additives such as probiotics, dietary fibers, and plant-based proteins.
There is increasing demand for antioxidant rich protein foods derived from vegetables, juices, and dried fruits. The market is changing by developing products that not only meet the nutrition gaps, but also the consumers’ needs for minimally processed, healthy food, and nutritionally dense, clean label offerings.
The processed fruits and vegetable industry is increasing in revenue and is also cultivating a demand for sustainable packaging because of increased concern to the environment. Many companies are already setting sustainability targets by using plant-based packaging, compostable films, and reducing plastic waste in attempts to meet strict environmental compliance.
Most governments today have emission reduction policies which makes for stronger competition within the food processing industry and overall sustainability. As a result, there has been an increase in brands that aim to achieve environmental sustainability and create new innovative products to fulfill the needs of quality conscious environment friendly consumers.
The proliferation of e-commerce has concentrated the majority of processed fruits and vegetables sales into online sales. Advanced cold chain logistics in conjunction with a B2C model enables wider ranging specialty and organic processed products to be sold.
Brands are now able to cater their offerings to specific customers who are increasingly using subscription models and online grocery shopping. As a result, this has also lowered the barrier of entry for smaller niche diet catering brands.
There is an increasing search for exotic superfoods among consumers, leading to an increased popularity of acai, goji berries, and dragon fruit. The escalating popularity of superfruit smoothies, nutrient-dense fruit bars, and freeze-dried superfruit snacks is resulting in a higher demand for superfruit puree and other exotic fruit puree.
