The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 disrupted global distribution channels but maintained stable demand as agricultural activities continued, supporting the volume recovery.

Volume eased to 31 268 tons in 2021, then increased to 32 465 tons in 2022, aided by the adoption of innovative technologies and the growing trend of on-the-go snacking. Local players like Sunbeam Foods and Manassen Foods strengthened their presence, with Sunbeam Foods winning industry awards for product quality.

By 2023, market volume adjusted to 29 347 tons and value declined to 65.8 million USD. Australian producers, including Murray River Organics, remained active, and the agri-food industry increasingly incorporated dried grapes into bakery and snack products, reflecting ongoing demand for healthy, natural ingredients.
