Earlier Report Observations

The U.S. watermelon market volume declined from 6 984 тыс. т in 2018 to 6 373 тыс. т in 2020. During this period, new varieties such as seedless and mini watermelons were introduced, attracting health-conscious consumers and gaining visibility through social media platforms.

Market volume stabilized at around 6 359 тыс. т in 2021 before falling to 6 160 тыс. т in 2022. This drop coincided with increased supply chain volatility due to climate change, which made domestic production more vulnerable and affected overall availability.

In 2023, the market rebounded to 6 543 тыс. т, supported by growing consumer preference for seedless watermelons that gained market share for their convenience. By 2024, the seedless segment continued to expand, while adverse weather in Mexico tightened import supplies, influencing market conditions.
