Prepared or preserved pineapples market in Americas

Earlier Report Observations

Between 2018 and 2023, the market volume for prepared or preserved pineapples in the Americas fluctuated, declining from 192 thousand tons to a low of 176 thousand tons by 2020 before recovering to over 200 thousand tons in 2022 and easing to 198 thousand tons in 2023.

The market expansion in 2021 was supported by strong global pineapple production from leading suppliers like Costa Rica, Indonesia, and the Philippines, which provided ample fruit for processing. In 2023, a slight market contraction coincided with reduced import volumes and climate-related challenges in key growing regions such as Mexico, where drought conditions affected harvests.

During 2024, weather disruptions in Central America and Mexico tightened pineapple supply, while major companies introduced new organic and reduced-sugar canned pineapple products to cater to health-conscious consumers, reflecting ongoing shifts in preferences and supply chain conditions.
