Earlier Report Observations

The fresh strawberry market in Asia expanded in volume from 3 981 thousand tons in 2018 to 5 378 thousand tons in 2023, while its value fluctuated with a peak of 24 379 million USD in 2020 before settling at 23 551 million USD in 2023.

Growth in the later part of the period was supported by rising disposable incomes and a shift in consumer preferences toward healthier diets, which increased demand for fresh strawberries. Technological advancements, including the adoption of greenhouse and hydroponic farming, enabled more consistent, year-round production to meet this demand.

Export activities, such as plans to ship 'Seolhyang' strawberries from South Korea to Hong Kong, and climatic factors affecting yields further influenced market dynamics. Consumer interest in organic and locally sourced produce also continued to shape the market.
