In 2023, fresh carrot consumption in the US stood at 14.62 pounds. From 2024 to 2028, consumption is forecasted to increase steadily, with a consistent year-on-year growth averaging around 3% annually. The compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over these five years is approximately 2.9%. This steady rise suggests increasing demand, possibly driven by health trends and greater interest in plant-based diets.

Future trends to watch for include:

Rising consumer awareness of nutritional benefits, potentially fueling more growth.
Impact of agricultural innovations and supply chain efficiencies on pricing and accessibility.
Potential shifts in dietary preferences that could alter consumption patterns.
