Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the ASEAN market for fresh or chilled capsicum and pimenta fruits expanded from 2 592 thousand tons to 2 877 thousand tons. The market then contracted to 2 794 thousand tons in 2021.

Growth resumed in 2022, with the market volume reaching 3 078 thousand tons, and continued to 3 224 thousand tons in 2023. This upward trend was supported by rising health awareness among consumers, which increased demand for nutritious foods like capsicum, alongside urbanization and higher disposable incomes in developing ASEAN countries. The growing popularity of vegan and plant-based diets also contributed to consumption, while post-pandemic supply chain stabilization improved product availability.
