The expansion of the food and beverage industry is expected to drive the growth of the berry market in the coming years. The food and beverage industry encompasses the processing, packaging, and distribution of food and drink products for consumption. This industry is expanding due to factors such as rising global populations, increasing urbanization, evolving dietary preferences, and growing demand for convenience foods. In addition, health-conscious consumer trends and continuous product innovation are further supporting industry growth. Berries are widely used in food and beverage products because of their natural sweetness, vibrant colors, and high nutritional value, enhancing the flavor, visual appeal, and health profile of smoothies, juices, snacks, and desserts. For example, in March 2025, according to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, an Australia-based national statistical agency, approximately 15.3 million tonnes of food and non-alcoholic beverages were sold through supermarkets, grocery stores, convenience stores, and specialty food outlets in Australia during 2023-24, representing a 3.5% increase, or 510,500 tonnes, compared with 2022-23. Therefore, the expansion of the food and beverage industry is contributing to the growth of the berry market.
