Market Dynamics

The Growing Demand for Kiwi Fruit among Consumers Drives the Kiwi Fruit Market Growth

There is a growing demand for kiwi fruit worldwide, strengthened by consumers’ growing concern for health and wellness. The fruit is witnessing immense demand from global consumers because they are low in sugar and high in fiber. The higher-income groups in all regions are even willing to pay additional amounts to safeguard their health conditions driving them to increase in consumption. 

They are high in vitamin C and dietary fiber. One serving of kiwi fruit provides 117% of the daily vitamin C intake and 21% of dietary fiber. The vitamin C content in kiwifruit is twice that of oranges or lemons. This fruit can support heart health, digestive health, and immunity. Thus, the increased benefits of this fruit lead to more kiwi fruit market demand.

Furthermore, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration approved the nutrient content of kiwi fruit as low-fat, saturated fat-free, sodium-free, cholesterol-free, high in fiber, high in vitamin C, a good source of vitamin E, and potassium. The growing awareness of health benefits among the population boosted the kiwi fruit market demand.

New Varieties and Product Launches are Driving the Kiwi Fruit Market Growth

Plant & Food Research and Zespri entered a new joint venture to establish the Kiwifruit Breeding Centre. The center is based in Te Puke, aiming to drive more incredible innovation within kiwifruit breeding, focusing on creating healthier, better tasting, and more sustainability-focused varieties in kiwifruit growing; one such is the introduction of red kiwifruit varieties. The refreshing, raspberry taste of the fruit was successful in market trials, and the first fruit commercial was done in New Zealand in 2020.

The increased application of kiwi fruit in the food and beverage industry also drives the market size. These fruits are used in new products such as candies, jams, ice creams, and sauces. For instance, In March 2022, Oregon Fruit Products LLC, a manufacturer of fruit purees for the craft beverage market, announced its latest seasonal release, Kiwi Puree.

Low Shelf Life and Allergies Caused by Kiwi Fruit are Restraining the Market.

Kiwi fruit is climacteric fruit and has a relatively small shelf life. Kiwi that has ripened cannot last for more than four weeks in the refrigerator. High temperatures accelerate the metabolic processes and reduce the shelf life of the fruit. Shallow and selected RH conditions are needed to prolong the shelf life of the fruit for storage and processing, which requires a developed system cost high to maintain requirements. 

Kiwis are delightful fruits, but some people are affected by kiwi allergies. The symptoms can range from mild to severe. Mild symptoms might include itching, tongue, lips, mouth discomfort, and visible skin rash. In extreme allergies, people can have difficulty breathing or other asthma symptoms, abdominal pain, dizziness, and vomiting. According to the National Institute of Health, the overall prevalence of kiwi allergy is about 13.3%.
