Easing Inflationary Pressure & Domestic Production to Help French Fresh Fruits Market Size to Exceed USD 18.92 Billion by 2030

The fresh fruit market in France was valued at around USD 14.23 billion in 2024 and is projected to reach USD 18.92 billion by 2030. According to a recent research report by MarkNtel Advisors, the market is estimated to grow at a CAGR of around 4.11% during the forecast period, 2025-30.

The key market growth drivers that can be attributed to the considerable rise in the market size in the forthcoming years include a rise in domestic production, a diversified source of imports of fruits keeping prices lower, a surge in demand from the fruit processing industry, growing health consciousness among the residents, etc.

During 2020-23, the country weathered volatile climatic conditions, negatively impacting domestic production. Moreover, the inflationary pressure in the economy resulted in a higher cost of imports, thereby translating into reduced consumer spending on fresh fruits. However, the country’s average temperature lowered in 2024, which proved quite beneficial for fresh fruit production. Moreover, with the gradual decline in inflation, the consumer demand for fresh fruits soared in 2024.

Market Opportunity: Multiple Health Benefits Increasing Consumer Attractiveness Towards Blueberries

Traditionally, the French residents had one of the lowest per capita consumptions of blueberries in Europe. This is because the local production of blueberries in France is quite low, coupled with the greater proximity of French consumers towards locally produced fruits.

Blueberries are imported into France from Spain, Germany, the UK, and several other countries. However, with the growing awareness about their health benefits, the demand for blueberries is registering an upward trend. Blueberries are a good source of vitamins, minerals, dietary fiber, and polyphenols, which are quite essential for human health. Moreover, blueberries can reduce the risk of several diseases while boosting immunity and cardiac health.
