Earlier Report Observations

From 2018 to 2020, the US ginger market volume grew from 86.9 thousand tons to 103.3 thousand tons, while its value increased from $121.3 million to $166.6 million, with a particularly sharp rise in both measures occurring in 2020.

Market volume peaked at 104.4 thousand tons in 2021 before declining to 88.7 thousand tons in 2023. However, the market's value fell less sharply, aided by the emergence of new product segments like ginger-infused beverages and a growing consumer preference for natural, functional foods, which supported demand for higher-value ginger products.

Entering 2024, trends toward health-focused consumption continued, with new premium players entering the beverage segment and nearly 40% of processing plants integrating automation for grading and packaging, enhancing supply chain efficiency.
