In 2023, the pineapple market size in the US stood at an estimated 4.83 kilograms per capita. From 2024 to 2028, the per capita volume is forecasted to slightly decline, showing an annual decrease from 4.81 down to 4.71 kilograms. This represents a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) over the five-year period of roughly -0.5%.
Year-on-year variations indicate a consistent but modest decrease in per capita consumption each year - ranging from a decline of approximately 0.6% to 0.5% annually.
Future trends to watch for include:
- The impact of consumer preferences shifting towards alternative fruits and plant-based diets on pineapple consumption.
- Potential influences of economic factors on purchasing power and preference for imported versus local produce.
- The evolving landscape of environmental sustainability and its effect on commodity preferences, including tropical fruits like pineapples.
