The growth during the historic period can be credited to the increasing popularity of superfoods, the rise of veganism, the expansion of international trade, the growing trend of smoothie bowls and juices, and the heightened interest in functional foods.
The exotic fruit market size is expected to see strong growth in the next few years. It will grow to $23.52 billion in 2028 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.9%. The growth projected for the forecast period can be attributed to the rise in online grocery shopping, greater exposure from global tourism, the growing popularity of natural sweeteners, increased disposable income, and heightened awareness of antioxidant-rich foods. Key trends during this period include advancements in fruit preservation methods, eco-friendly farming practices, the development of exotic fruit-based superfood powders, a shift toward clean-label products, and the use of blockchain technology in exotic fruit supply chains.
The growing demand for organic fruits is expected to drive the expansion of the exotic fruit market in the coming years. Organic fruits are cultivated without synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or GMOs, adhering to eco-friendly farming methods. This demand is fueled by increasing consumer awareness of health benefits, environmental sustainability, and a preference for chemical-free products. Adding exotic fruits such as dragon fruit, rambutan, and guanabana to the organic selection offers health-conscious consumers a diverse range of nutrient-rich options. For example, according to the Organic Trade Association, a US-based non-profit organization, the revenue from organic fruits and vegetables rose from $21 billion in 2021 to $22 billion in 2022, though the overall market share remained steady at 15% both years. As a result, the growing interest in organic fruits is boosting the exotic fruit market.
Leading companies in the exotic fruit industry are focusing on advanced packaging technologies and promoting sustainable consumption practices to meet the increasing demand for eco-friendly and ethically sourced products. These sustainable practices involve reducing waste, lowering environmental impact, and ensuring socially, economically, and environmentally responsible production and consumption. For instance, in September 2023, Frieda's Branded Produce, a US-based food and beverage services company, introduced Frieda's Passion Fruit Three-Pack. This product stands out with its sweet-tart flavor combination and convenient, freshness-preserving packaging. Its bold, eye-catching design protects the delicate fruit and appeals to consumers seeking unique exotic fruit options.
