The forecast for the import of peaches and nectarines to the US from 2024 to 2028 shows a gradual decline. Starting at 33.635 million kilograms in 2024, the volume decreases to 30.48 million kilograms by 2028. Compared to 2023, where actual import data indicated a volume of approximately 34 million kilograms, this represents a downward trend.
Year-on-year, the import volume decreases by roughly 2% from 2024 to 2025, further declining with a similar percentage trend through to 2028. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over this five-year period reflects a negative growth, indicating a consistent decrease in import demand.
Future trends to monitor include:
- Impact of domestic production on import needs.
- Trade policies and tariff adjustments affecting import costs.
- Shifts in consumer preferences and dietary trends that could influence demand.
- Global climatic conditions impacting peach and nectarine production in exporting countries.
