Earlier Report Observations

The Australian kiwifruit market volume expanded from 25 335 t in 2018 to 30 909 t in 2021. This growth was initially supported by the introduction of new, disease-resistant Gold kiwifruit varieties, which created a popular new segment, and by broader consumer shifts toward health-conscious eating. The COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 significantly boosted demand for fresh fruits as immunity boosters, while post-pandemic supply chain realignment and a rising preference for organic kiwifruit further sustained the market's upward trajectory through 2021.

After reaching its peak, the market volume contracted to 26 511 t in 2022 before stabilizing at 26 763 t in 2023. During this period, the industry saw the emergence of value-added kiwifruit products like juices and smoothies, diversifying consumption avenues. Import volumes subsequently increased, reaching 27 436 t in 2024 and 30 149 t in 2025, indicating continued demand for the fruit in Australia.
