Table Grape Market Trends
Increasing Export Potential for Table Grapes
The global trade in table grapes is expanding due to consistent demand, complementary harvest seasons across regions, and improved cold chain infrastructure. International trade agreements and lower tariffs enable efficient exports, while consumer preference for seedless and premium grape varieties drives market growth. The export market benefits from increased purchasing power in importing nations, adherence to quality standards, and digital commerce platforms.
While climate change affects table grape production patterns, government subsidies and support programs help increase export volumes. For instance, Chinese companies are increasing their fresh grape exports to Southeast Asian markets, particularly Thailand and Vietnam, due to shorter transportation times and improved product quality. A similar trend can be seen in the case of fresh grape exports from India during the past few years. According to ITC Trade Map, the fresh table grapes exports from India have increased from 180.6 thousand metric tons in 2020 to 284.3 thousand metric tons in 2023 an increase of over 80 thousand metric tons during the 4 year period. With favorable conditions to increase the production in the coming years, this trend is anticipated to continue in the coming years.
Asia Pacific Region dominating the market
Asia Pacific region is one of the largest regions in terms of both consumption and production. According to the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), China, India, and Uzbekistan alone are responsible for over 65% of the global table grape production in the year 2023. Of all these, China is the primary driving consumer of table grapes in the region.
In China, steady growth in grape consumption is attributed to a combination of low prices and enhanced varieties and quality. Amid an economic slowdown, reduced market prices are likely to boost fresh grape sales. Chinese consumers have a preference for grapes that are crispy, sweet, seedless, and boast a robust flavor. Traders note that red grapes are the top choice for Chinese consumers, followed by black and green varieties. The introduction of advanced farming technologies, including various greenhouse methods, has significantly improved the flavor and appearance of table grapes in China.
There's a noticeable shift among Chinese consumers from seeded varieties like Red Globe to seedless ones such as Sunshine Muscat, with a consistent interest in exploring new varieties and flavors. Advancements in storage technology have successfully prolonged the supply season for certain grape varieties, including Sunshine Muscat and Red Globe. Data from the United States Department of Agriculture highlights that approximately 85 percent of grapes in China are consumed fresh, with processed products such as raisins, accounting for the remaining 15 percent. With increased production estimated for the coming years and growing consumer demand, the table grapes consumption in the Asia Pacific region is anticipated to drive the market in the coming years.
