As of 2023, India's domestic consumption of table grapes stood at approximately 2.278 million metric tons. Forecasted data for the years 2024 to 2028 suggest a slight decreasing trend in consumption, with values gradually falling from 2.2721 million metric tons in 2024 to 2.2477 million metric tons in 2028. The average year-on-year decline over this period is minimal, evident in the compound annual growth rate (CAGR), which shows a gradual reduction over the five-year timeline.
Future trends to watch for:
- Changes in consumer preferences towards healthier eating may drive demand slightly upward or maintain stability despite the forecasted decline.
- Price fluctuations and climatic conditions impacting grape production could influence domestic consumption significantly.
- Innovation in grape varieties and improvements in supply chains may counteract the declining trend.
