Earlier Report Observations

The dried prunes market in Oceania showed considerable volatility between 2018 and 2021. Market volume fell to 5 635 t in 2019, rebounded to 6 505 t in 2020, and then contracted sharply to 4 754 t in 2021.

A sustained growth phase began in 2022, with the market expanding by 27% to 6 029 t. This increase was aligned with a 14% surge in the global dried prunes market and a rising consumer preference for healthy, natural snacks across the Asia-Pacific region, which boosted local demand. The presence of established regional players like Manassen Foods Australia also contributed to market activity. Growth continued in 2023, with volume climbing a further 19% to reach 7 159 t.

Import volumes rose to 3 940 t in 2024, indicating robust ongoing demand. This was supported by the persistent consumer shift toward nutrient-rich snacks and the increasing accessibility of dried prunes through expanding online distribution channels in Oceania.
