The import of table grapes into India is projected to increase steadily from 12.17 thousand metric tons in 2024 to 16.7 thousand metric tons by 2028. Compared to 2023, this marks a significant rise, demonstrating robust growth prospects in the coming years. The year-on-year increase illustrates a consistent upward trend with a notable spike every consecutive year. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period indicates a strong average annual growth overall. Key factors driving this projection include rising domestic demand, improvements in supply chain, and changes in consumer preferences towards healthy dietary options.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impact of trade policies and tariffs on import costs.
- Influence of domestic grape production on import needs.
- Advancements in storage and transportation technologies affecting the quality and viability of imported grapes.
- Shifts in consumer health trends and their impact on grape consumption.
