The consumption of processed pears in the US is experiencing a downward trend. In 2023, the consumption was higher than in the available forecasts from 2024 onwards. The year-on-year forecast data indicates a steady decline in consumption from 2024 to 2028, with each year seeing a drop in pounds consumed. Specifically, the decline is projected to be approximately 6.2% per year over this period. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) reflects a negative average variation, underscoring an ongoing reduction in processed pear consumption.
Future trends to watch for include potential shifts in consumer preferences toward fresh or alternative fruit options, increased awareness of health and dietary changes that might impact demand, and possible innovations within the processed fruit sector that could alter consumption patterns. Economic factors or policy changes affecting food processing and distribution could also influence future consumption levels.
