Global Fruit & Vegetable Processing - Industry Market Research Report

Salad days: High disposable incomes have enabled consumers to make healthier food choices, bolstering revenue

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. But unlike the case for developed countries, this income growth has fomented demand for processed foods in developing countries such as China. The industrialization of the industry in these countries has also improved distribution and production capacity to the benefit of the global industry. Overall, the industry has been growing at a CAGR of 1.2% over the past five years and is expected to total $339.6 billion in 2023, when revenue will jump by an estimated 0.8%.
