Dublin, Aug. 29, 2024 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Global Dates Market by Variety (Ajwa Dates, Barhi Dates, Deglet Noor Dates), Product Type (Dried, Fresh), Source, Type, Sales Channel, End-Use – Forecast 2024-2030” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.
The Dates Market grew from USD 19.98 billion in 2023 to USD 20.84 billion in 2024. It is expected to continue growing at a CAGR of 4.43%, reaching USD 27.07 billion by 2030.
The dates market has benefited from expanding distribution channels and increasing globalization, which have made dates more accessible to consumers worldwide. The rise of e-commerce platforms and online grocery stores has further facilitated the distribution of dates to diverse markets, driving growth in both developed and emerging economies.
Additionally, the growing trend towards plant-based diets and natural, minimally processed foods has boosted the demand for dates as a healthy and sustainable snack option. The susceptibility of date palm trees to pests, diseases, and adverse weather conditions and the relatively high cost of production, particularly in regions with arid climates where date palm cultivation is prevalent hampers the market growth.
Expanding research and development efforts aimed at improving date palm cultivation techniques, enhancing crop yields, and developing new date varieties create new growth opportunities in the market. Furthermore, the development of innovative date-based products, such as date-based snacks, desserts, and beverages, could diversify the market and attract new consumer segments, further expanding the scope of the dates market.
