As of 2023, U.S. snap bean consumption was measured at 6.42 pounds per capita. Forecasted figures from 2024 to 2028 indicate a gradual decline: 2024 sees a slight decrease to 6.39 pounds, continuing downwards to 6.27 pounds by 2028. This consistent year-on-year drop represents a negative compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year forecast period, emphasizing a modest decline in consumption.

Future trends to monitor include:

Potential shifts in consumer preferences towards plant-based diets might stabilize or increase snap bean consumption.
Evolving agricultural practices and climate change could impact supply, influencing future consumption patterns.
Economic factors affecting spending power may further influence dietary choices around fresh produce.
