In 2023, China and India were the largest consumers of vegetables globally, with China leading by a significant margin. The United States and other nations displayed varied demand trends, with some like Vietnam and Mexico showing substantial increases, while others, including Russia and Iran, experienced declines. Year-on-year variation reveals a mixed trend, with notable increases in Bangladesh and Uzbekistan, and decreases in Nigeria and Malaysia. The overall market saw modest growth, with the average CAGR being steady across major consumer countries.
Future trends to watch include potential shifts in demand due to economic growth and dietary changes in emerging markets, as well as the impact of sustainability initiatives and climate change on vegetable supply and consumption patterns.
