The forecast for broccoli consumption in the US remains stable for the next five years, with minor increases anticipated between 2026 and 2028. In 2023, the consumption was 8.83 pounds, consistent with projections from 2024 to 2026. A slight uptick to 8.84 pounds begins in 2027 and continues through 2028, marking an insignificant increase. This stability reflects consistency in consumer habits without notable year-on-year change.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential dietary shifts toward plant-based foods could influence increases in broccoli consumption.
- Price volatility in the produce market may impact consumer preferences and consumption patterns.
- Innovations in broccoli products, such as ready-to-eat meals, could alter demand dynamics.
