The US consumption of red and orange vegetables is forecasted to decline from 2024 to 2028, with a noticeable decrease each year in pounds consumed. The year-on-year percentage change demonstrates a consistent downward trend. In 2023, consumption stood at approximately the same level as 2024, indicating the beginning of this declining trend. The estimated Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) over this five-year forecast is negative, highlighting an average annual decrease in consumption.
Future trends to watch for include the impact of consumer preferences shifting towards plant-based diets and sustainability, which may influence these forecasts. Innovation in vegetable-based products and potential health campaigns could mitigate or reverse this decline.
