Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2019, the market for fresh currants and gooseberries in Eastern Asia remained stable at approximately 73 000 kg. This period coincided with the emergence of the currant extract sector, where key players like Phyto Life Sciences and BotanicalsPlus entered, and growing health awareness boosted demand for natural berry products. Competition intensified as companies increased R&D investment and consumer preference for additive-free options rose, supported by local policies favoring agricultural cooperatives.

The market volume plummeted to 49 080 kg in 2020 and 25 416 kg in 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic severely disrupted global supply chains, curtailing imports. Concurrently, stringent national food safety regulations were enacted, including revised standards and enhanced traceability requirements, which further restricted import flows and market access.

Between 2022 and 2024, the market decline moderated, with volumes reaching 22 167 kg by 2023. Policy initiatives promoting agricultural modernization and green development aimed to strengthen domestic supply chains. The rapid expansion of online sales channels and new retail formats offered alternative distribution, though persistent global supply chain volatility and continually tightening food safety and labeling standards kept import levels low.
