Top Factor Driving Cherries Market Growth in 2025: Cherries Market Thrives Amidst Surge In Plant-Based Diet Popularity

How Big Is the Cherries Market Expected to Be, and What Will Its Growth Rate Be?
There has been a robust expansion in the size of the cherries market in recent years, with projections indicating it will rise from $63.03 billion in 2024 to $68.7 billion in 2025, progressing at an annual compound growth rate (CAGR) of 9.0%. A variety of factors fueled this historic period of growth, including increased knowledge of cherry health benefits, rising disposable incomes, and urban development. Government policies and norms that bolstered the cherry industry also contributed, as did heightened demand for fresh, wholesome food choices and evolving consumer preferences.

The market for cherries is predicted to experience significant expansion in the coming years, with projections suggesting it will reach $95.71 billion in 2029, having grown at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.6%. This growth during the forecast period can be attributed to several factors including an increased demand for organic and natural foods, a heightened emphasis on sustainability and environmental consciousness within the cherry industry, the rise of e-commerce and online sales, growing consumer interest in functional foods and nutraceuticals, and advancements in cherry farming methods and crop management. Noteworthy trends anticipated within the forecast period include the rising popularity of dried cherries as snacks, an expansion of cherry varieties found in supermarkets, an increased interest in cherry-infused drinks and cocktails, the adoption of eco-friendly farming practices in cherry farming, and the emergence of inventive cherry-based skincare product lines.

What Are the Key Drivers Behind the Growth of the Cherries Market?
The increased interest in plant-based eating is projected to boost the cherries market in the future. The concept of a plant-based diet revolves mostly or entirely around foods obtained from plants such as fruits, vegetables, grains, nuts, and seeds, while it mostly avoids or reduces the consumption of animal-based products like meat, dairy, and eggs. This shift towards plant-based diets is due to a heightened consciousness about health benefits, environmental considerations, and ethical issues surrounding animal welfare. Cherries are commonly incorporated into plant-based menus, offering a dash of flavor to salads, smoothies, desserts, and sauces. Citing data from the Good Food Institute, a non-profit organization based in the US, global retail sales of plant-based meat reached a staggering $6.1 billion in 2022, marking an 8% surge in dollar sales and a 5% climb in weight sales compared to the prior year. Consequently, the mounting popularity of plant-based diets is fueling the growth of the cherries market.
