Global Kiwi Fruit Market - 2023-2030

The Global Kiwi Fruit Market reached US$ 1.5 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach US$ 2.1 billion by 2030 and is expected to grow with a CAGR of 4.8% during the forecast period 2023-2030. The increased awareness about healthy intake and health benefits of kiwi fruit among people is increasing the global kiwi fruit market size.

Consumers prefer nutritional products; companies consider this a potential strategy to grow their customers. New products are launching with kiwi fruit as a significant ingredient, increasing the market demand. Kiwi fruits are used in many products, such as candies, jams, ice creams, and sauces. For instance, in March 2022, Oregon Fruit Products LLC, a manufacturer of fruit purees for the craft beverage market, announced its latest seasonal release, Kiwi Puree.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the nutrient content of kiwi fruit as low-fat, saturated fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free, high in fiber, high in vitamin C, a good source of vitamin E, and a good source of potassium. The growing awareness of health benefits among the population boosted the demand for kiwi fruit market opportunities on a large scale.

Market Dynamics

The Growing Demand for Kiwi Fruit is Estimated to Drive the Kiwi Fruit Market Growth.

Consumers are increasingly embracing the vegan lifestyle and opting for healthy foods. Fruits are always a more significant source of nutrients. According to the nutrition information provided by the USDA, kiwi fruits are an excellent source of vitamin C, fiber, and potassium. Compared to other fruits, kiwis are naturally lower in sugar and higher in fiber. Therefore, this fruit is witnessing immense demand from global consumers.

One serving of kiwi fruit provides 117% of the daily vitamin C intake and 21% of dietary fiber. The vitamin C content in kiwifruit is twice that of oranges or lemons. This fruit can support heart and digestive health, maintain good gut health, provide antioxidant power, and improve immunity. Thus, the increased benefits of this fruit lead to more kiwi fruit market demand.

New Varieties and Product Launches are Driving the Market Growth.

Plant & Food Research and Zespri entered a new joint venture to establish the Kiwifruit Breeding Centre. The center is based in Te Puke, aiming to drive more incredible innovation within kiwifruit breeding, focusing on creating healthier, better tasting, and more sustainability-focused varieties. The invention of kiwifruit is growing; one such is the introduction of red kiwifruit varieties. The refreshing raspberry taste of the fruit was successful in market trials, and the first fruit commercial was done in New Zealand in 2020.

The increased application of kiwi fruit in the food and beverage industry also drives the market size. These fruits are used in new products such as candies, jams, ice creams, and sauces. For instance, In March 2022, Oregon Fruit Products LLC, a manufacturer of fruit purees for the craft beverage market, announced its latest seasonal release, Kiwi Puree.

There is a new development in the packing sector too. Globally, Zespri joined some of the world’s biggest brands to sign up for the Ellen MacArthur Foundation’s New Plastics Economy Global Commitment to create a circular economy for plastics. To make all packaging 100% reusable, recyclable, or compostable by 2025 was Zespri’s commitment.

Low Shelf and Allergies Caused by Kiwi Fruit Restrains the Market Growth.

Kiwi fruit has a relatively minor shelf life. Kiwi that has ripened cannot last for more than four weeks in the refrigerator. The storage conditions of the fruit should be given greater importance in handling the kiwi fruit. High temperatures accelerate the metabolic processes and reduce the shelf life of the fruit. The desired temperature and relative humidity conditions needed to be maintained to secure the fruit for a longer time.

Kiwi fruit should be considered a significant food allergen. It is capable of causing severe reactions, particularly in young children. The symptoms can vary from mild itching or discomfort of the tongue, lips, or mouth and visible skin rashes to severe allergy conditions, where people can encounter difficulty breathing or other asthma symptoms, abdominal pain, dizziness, and vomiting. According to the National Institute of Health, the overall prevalence of kiwi allergy is about 13.3%.
