Earlier Report Observations

The U.S. fresh melon market volume declined from 946.9 thousand tons in 2018 to 698.2 thousand tons in 2020. A recovery began in 2021, with the market reaching 748.9 thousand tons by 2022, before contracting to 706.1 thousand tons in 2023.

Market expansion in 2021 and 2022 was supported by strong demand, reflected in peak U.S. melon export prices of $915 per ton in 2021. The introduction of greenhouse-grown melons under the Solara™ brand in 2022 innovated product development and enhanced year-round availability, while growing consumer awareness of health benefits boosted per capita consumption.

Despite rising per capita consumption, market volume dipped in 2023. Production faced challenges from climate variability and weather factors, which affected supply stability, even as consumer preference for convenient pre-packaged melon products continued to influence retail offerings.
