A major driver propelling the market expansion over the forecast period is the newfound enthusiasm of customers who are on a constant lookout for fresh and exotic fruits and vegetables for a healthy diet.

Moreover, due to the increased online presence of products, new demographics such as millennials are actively purchasing grocery products including fruit & vegetables through online channels.

Fruits and vegetables are mainly consumed by vegetarians and vegans to satisfy their nutritional needs. Fruits and vegetables provide the same amount of nutrients as an equivalent portion of meat along with high nutritional content such as fiber. Hence, consumers in the country are increasingly purchasing more fruits & vegetables. Moreover, this factor is further encouraging non-vegetarians to consume more vegetables and less meat. Plant-based diets have become increasingly popular in the U.S. over the past few years, which drives the demand for fruits and veggies.

The fresh fruits & vegetables segment dominated the market by holding a major share in 2022. The consumption of fresh fruits and veggies in the United States was significantly impacted by the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic. Due to logistical and transportation challenges, the supply of these goods was limited, but demand for fresh fruits and vegetables increased as people focused more on eating healthily and substituting fresh produce for processed or frozen foods in their diets. Thus, the increased inclination of consumers toward eating fresh fruits & vegetables contributes to market growth.

The southeast region accounted for the largest share of the market. Flat terrain, abundant soil, and a long growing season make the area a subtropical, humid environment; ideal for cultivation. The majority of people in the Southeast are employed in agriculture, textile production, coal extraction, and oil drilling. Moreover, California in the region is one of the major producers of fruits & vegetables, resulting in significant consumption. Due to these reasons, the region produces and consumes a lot of fruits and vegetables, which helps the market expand.

Major players in the U.S. fruits & vegetables industry are undertaking various steps including partnerships, mergers & acquisitions, global expansion, and others to gain more share of the market.
