The import volume of prepared or preserved pineapples to the US is forecasted to decline gradually from 291.33 million kilograms in 2024 to 282.52 million kilograms in 2028. This reflects a consistent year-on-year decrease, with the compound annual growth rate (CAGR) indicating a negative trend over this five-year forecast period.
In 2023, the volume stood at a slightly higher figure, showcasing an apparent decrease in import activity. The steady decline could be influenced by factors such as shifting consumer preferences, potential domestic production increases, or changes in international trade policies.
Future trends to watch for:
- Potential impacts of trade agreements or tariffs affecting pineapple imports.
- Consumer trends towards fresh versus processed fruits influencing demand.
- Economic factors impacting purchasing power and import affordability.
