The growth in health consciousness is mainly driven by increasing awareness of lifestyle-related diseases, as improved access to information about conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular diseases encourages individuals to adopt healthier habits to reduce long-term health risks. Health consciousness supports increased fruit consumption by promoting healthier dietary choices focused on nutrition and wellness. It boosts demand for fruits as natural sources of essential vitamins, minerals, and dietary fiber. For instance, in June 2024, according to the International Food Information Council (IFIC), a US-based nonprofit organization, the share of Americans following a specific diet or eating pattern over the past year remains high at 54%, while interest in increasing protein intake has steadily risen from 59% in 2022 to 67% in 2023 and 71% in 2024. Therefore, the rising health consciousness is driving the growth of the fruits market.
