Earlier Report Observations

The North American aubergine market experienced consistent growth in value from 2018, primarily driven by a sustained shift in consumer preferences towards plant-based diets and fresh, healthy foods. This trend was reinforced by the expanding role of supermarkets and hypermarkets in distributing fresh produce, making aubergines more accessible, while rising prices in both the United States and Canada reflected higher production costs and strong demand.

The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 temporarily disrupted supply chains and logistics but concurrently heightened demand for fresh vegetables as home cooking increased. In the following years, industry initiatives to improve cold chain logistics, such as Fresh Del Monte Produce's collaborations for better temperature and humidity control, helped maintain product quality and supported the market's value growth, even as physical volume saw minor fluctuations.

From 2020 onward, the market volume in kind stabilized between 115.9 and 117.5 thousand tonnes, with a slight increase in 2023. Meanwhile, the market value continued its upward trajectory, reaching $193.9 million by 2023, supported by ongoing consumer demand for nutritious and convenient fresh foods.
