The tomatoes market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $216.46 billion in 2030 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.4%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rising demand for organic produce, expansion of protected cultivation systems, increasing use of tomatoes in processed foods, growing adoption of high-yield varieties, rising household consumption of fresh tomatoes.

The increasing production of tomatoes is expected to drive the growth of the tomato market in the coming years. Tomato production involves the systematic cultivation, harvesting, and post-harvest handling of tomatoes for both fresh consumption and processing into value-added products such as sauces, pastes, and canned goods. A major factor supporting the rise in tomato production is the growing adoption of high-yielding hybrid seed varieties, which improve crop resilience against diseases and environmental stresses, enabling farmers to achieve higher productivity and consistent output. As production grows, tomatoes contribute to food security and bolster the agricultural economy by providing a reliable source of nutrition, income, and raw materials for industry. For example, in May 2024, the Agriculture Marketing Research Center, a US-based organization, reported that in 2023, the production value of fresh market tomatoes in the U.S. reached approximately $715.63 million, with processors projecting contracted production across 248,000 acres at an average yield of 50 tons per acre. Thus, the rise in tomato production is driving growth in the tomato market.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report’s Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

Tariffs on imported tomatoes and related agricultural inputs have raised production and distribution costs, particularly affecting regions that depend on cross-border supply such as Europe and Asia-Pacific. These tariffs impact high-volume categories like beefsteak, Roma, and cherry tomatoes, leading to price fluctuations across both direct and indirect distribution channels. While they pose challenges for importers and food service industries, tariffs can stimulate domestic tomato cultivation, encouraging investment in local farming infrastructure and reducing long-term dependence on imports.
