Grapes market in ASEAN, 2026

Earlier Report Observations

The volume of the grape market in ASEAN showed significant fluctuations between 2018 and 2023. After a drop to 406.5 thousand tons in 2019 from 462.8 thousand tons the previous year, the market rebounded strongly to 506.9 thousand tons in 2020. This was followed by a period of stabilization, with the market size hovering around 505-551 thousand tons through 2021-2023, ending at 551.0 thousand tons in 2023. The market's movements were primarily driven by changes in import volumes, which account for the bulk of supply, while domestic production remained relatively stable near 110 thousand tons per year.

In 2024, grape imports into ASEAN jumped to 598.2 thousand tons. This increase was facilitated by trade agreements that reduced tariffs and by cold chain logistics advancements, which improved the quality and efficiency of grape shipments. These factors allowed for greater import volumes to meet growing demand from an expanding middle class in the region.
