Our researchers analyzed the data with 2022 as the base year, along with the key drivers, trends, and challenges. A holistic analysis of drivers will help companies refine their marketing strategies to gain a competitive advantage.
Market Driver
The rise in veganism is notably driving market growth. People are going vegan for a variety of reasons, including increased prosperity, detoxification, compassion for all living things, and the health advantages of eating fruits and vegetables. The vegan population has increased exponentially, with three-fold growth in terms of sales of fruits and vegetables in the most recent decade. Consumers are gradually focusing on incorporating a healthy diet into their daily life, owing to an increase in hectic lifestyles.
More and more people in the US are willing to reduce their consumption of animal-derived food products. Rising vegan culture is a growing trend worldwide. Moreover, numerous e-commerce stores offer vegan products to customers online. Growing vegan culture is expected to fuel the growth of the US fruit and vegetables market during the forecast period.
Market Trend
Rising demand for smart agricultural practices is an emerging trend in the market. There has been a high demand for smart agriculture practices such as precision farming which are anticipated to provide a high return on agricultural products. With precision agriculture technology, agribusiness may be more profitable than ever as it provides the required amount of irrigation water, liquid fertilizer, nutrients, herbicides, and pesticides to reduce the waste of resources. The use of modern technologies in agricultural products can help improve land fertility and profitability, promote sustainable agriculture, maximize productivity, and reduce agricultural costs.
Improving business efficiency through process automation and increasing output through reduced agricultural costs are two crucial factors that promote the deployment of smart agricultural tools. Therefore, business-oriented agronomists have begun to adopt various precision agriculture/smart agriculture tools to increase crop yields and profit margins.
Market Challenge
Increased chances of food contamination is the major challenge impeding market growth. Food poisoning or foodborne illness happens when the food gets contaminated by bacteria, viruses, parasites, toxins, or other substances. The likelihood of getting severe illness by consuming contaminated food varies from person to person. These contaminations have several ways to enter the supply chain and make food products unfit for consumption. For instance, staple foods such as corn or grains may contain high levels of naturally occurring mycotoxins, such as aflatoxins and ochratoxins, produced by molds on grains. Long-term exposure can affect the immune system and normal development or cause cancer.
Additionally, sudden climate change is also predicted to contaminate food. Because of extremely hot and cold climates, fruits and vegetables get spoiled as they are fresh longest when stored at a cool temperature. This factor is, in turn, expected to hamper the market growth.
