From 2013 to 2015, Turkey saw a significant increase in the import of prepared or preserved fruit mixtures, reaching a peak in 2015. This was followed by a notable decline in 2016 and a smaller decrease in 2017. The downward trend continued through 2018 with the lowest recorded value. A slight recovery occurred in 2019, but from 2020 to 2023, imports showed minor year-on-year decreases, stabilizing around the 2023 figure. Over the previous five years, the average annual decline was around 1.57%. Forecasts suggest a continued decline at an average annual rate of 2.78% through to 2028, translating to an overall decrease of 13.14% over five years.
Future trends to watch for:
- The potential for market stabilization or a reversal of the declining trend.
- Changes in import regulations or tariffs impacting volumes.
- Emerging local production capabilities reducing the need for imports.
