The US lemon consumption was at 9.65 pounds in 2023, indicating a steady growth trajectory. Forecasts predict a continued increase, with 2024 at 9.72 pounds and a continued upward trend reaching 10.02 pounds by 2028. This suggests a modest annual growth rate, with the consumption expected to rise gradually.
Year-on-year, this represents an approximate average growth of 0.7% per year. The compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) for the period from 2024 to 2028 is anticipated at 0.7% as well.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences towards organic and imported lemons, as well as economic factors influencing agricultural outputs and prices. Attention should also be given to climate impacts on lemon production, which could alter supply dynamics in coming years.
