A new study, covering the current market trends driving in the U.S. fruit market has been broadcasted to the broad repository of Market Research Hub (MRH), which is titled as “ U.S. Fruit Market- June 2017”.

It is well identified that fruits are defined as a product of vegetable growth edible to humans. Fruit consumption has been publicized to be an important part of any diet leading towards good health and Americans’ growing health consciousness is partly responsible for fruit's ascent. Initially, the study presents an executive summary of the fruit market, covering its major categories that are in demand.

As per the findings, fruit consumption in the United States has increased over the past two decades along with the Nation’s prosperity and the fruit sales has been surpassed $50 billion and the total market sales are driven by fresh fruits. The fresh fruits chosen for the study include bananas, papayas, pineapples, grapes, mangoes/guavas, avocados and other fresh fruit imports. Moreover, the fruit market also continues to experience continued growth due to its near universal consumption and an increased interest in healthy fresh snacks among consumers.
