The increasing demand from end users such as the food and beverage industry is expected to boost the growth of the avocado market going forward. The food and beverage industry includes businesses involved in the processing, packaging, and distribution of food products. Avocados are highly nutritious and versatile, offering benefits such as improved heart health, better digestion, and support for weight management. Their incorporation into daily diets aligns well with the growing consumer focus on healthier lifestyles. For instance, in March 2025, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based national statistical agency, an estimated 15.3 million tonnes of food and non-alcoholic beverages were sold across food stores in Australia during 2023-24. This represented a 3.5% increase, or 0.51 million tonnes, compared with the previous year (2022-23). Therefore, increasing demand from end users, particularly the food and beverage industry, is driving the growth of the avocado market.

Major companies in the avocado market are concentrating on the development of AI-powered fruit sizing technologies to optimize harvesting processes, enhance quality control, and improve supply chain efficiency, ultimately ensuring consumers receive high-quality avocados. AI-powered avocado sizing involves using artificial intelligence (AI) techniques to accurately assess the size and quality of avocados. AI algorithms evaluate various parameters, including size, shape, and weight, to deliver precise sizing information. This allows producers to effectively categorize their products, streamlining packing and distribution processes. For example, in October 2023, Aerobotics (Pty) Ltd., a company based in South Africa, introduced an AI-powered avocado sizing solution. These systems analyze data in real time, providing immediate feedback on the quality and size of avocados as they progress through production lines. This functionality reduces delays and boosts operational efficiency. Additionally, these technologies support sustainability initiatives by minimizing waste during sorting and ensuring that only high-quality avocados reach consumers.
