Earlier Report Observations

The cabbage market in Asia saw a gradual increase in volume from 55.3 million tonnes in 2018 to 57.5 million tonnes in 2023. This expansion aligned with the global trend of steady cabbage consumption growth, projected at an average annual rate of 1.4%. Climate change introduced production risks, such as higher temperatures and unpredictable weather, which may have influenced supply stability during the period.

Market value experienced greater volatility, peaking at $41.6 billion in 2021 before moderating. The surge in value during 2021 coincided with a global shift in consumer preferences towards sustainable and convenient products, including organic cabbage. In subsequent years, broader climatic and economic factors, such as currency fluctuations and market conditions, contributed to price movements and availability, affecting the market's monetary size.
