The global onions market is dominated by China and India, contributing the largest share of the market volume with 24.33 and 21.61 thousand metric tons respectively, in 2024. The United States, Egypt, and Iran follow, although with significantly lower volumes. Over the past year, some countries have seen noteworthy increases, like Colombia (+3.08%) and Mozambique (+4.16%), while others, notably Russia (-1.79%) and Myanmar (-1.84%), experienced declines. Although Brazil and Japan had marginal negative variations, they still maintain a steady volume share.
Looking ahead, we anticipate continued growth in emerging markets such as Niger, Nigeria, and Senegal, driven by a combination of population growth and agricultural investment. However, geopolitical and environmental factors could pose risks for countries like Ukraine and Russia, impacting their production and market share. Additionally, technological advancements and improved agricultural practices in developing countries could reshape the global onion market landscape in the coming years.
